FIG. 27 illustrates an image of an example embodiment of a single-use assembly of the delivery platform shown in FIG. 23. FIG. 28 illustrates an image of an example embodiment of a spray head of the single-use assembly shown in FIG. 27. FIG.29 illustrates a schematic of the experimental design for simultaneous delivery of RNPs. Cas9 RNP – TRAC sgRNA was prepared at 2:1 ratio at 0.4 µg / µL (equiv to 3.3µg per 1x106cells); S Buffer solutions were prepared with 0, 5, 10 and 15% ethanol with RNP and the experiments were carried out on the delivery system with the S buffer solutions at each ethanol concentration. FIG. 30 illustrates representative flow cytometry plots from cells stained with an antibody targeting CD3 (gated off the live population). Untreated (UT) cells showed >93% positivity for CD3 and this was reduced following delivery of TRAC RNP by the example delivery platform illustrated with respect to FIG. 1. Two distinct populations are observed in the treated samples with the population on the left (gated) referring to those cells that were negative for CD3 staining. This negative population increased from ~59% in samples where no ethanol was present in the delivery Solution to ~67% in samples where ethanol was present. A limit exists to the amount of ethanol present before precipitation of the Cas9 protein occurs (>20% ethanol at 0.4 µg / µL Cas9 RNP). FIG. 31A is a bar graph showing the mean CD3 negative population (± standard deviation) from 2-3 replicates per condition in activated T cells 72 hr post-delivery of TRAC RNP (2:1 guide to Cas9 molar ratio; 3.3µg per 1x106cells) by the example delivery platform illustrated with respect to FIG. 1.. Increasing concentrations of ethanol wereAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO added with the cargo in the delivery solution. The level of CD3 edit increased modestly with increasing concentrations of ethanol (0% EtOH-58% to 15% EtOH-66%). “UT” refers to untreated control cells. FIG. 31B is a table showing the mean, standard deviation, standard error of the mean and coefficient of variation of CD3 negative expression from each group 72 hr post- delivery of TRAC RNP by the example delivery platform illustrated with respect to FIG. 1.

FIG. 33A is a line graph showing that aqueous solutions without ethanol show a larger droplet size for the same pressure as compared to a solution containing ethanol. As shown in the graph, for achieving spray particle size similar to cells of approximately 10 µm in diameter (e.g., human T cells), the spray droplet size requires higher atomization pressures to be applied to maintain the droplet size range closer to the cell size, including to avoid excessively large droplets. FIG. 33B is a line graph showing that aqueous solutions with ethanol show a smaller droplet size (as compared to aqueous solutions without ethanol for the same pressure). FIGs. 34A and FIG. 35B are bar graphs showing that an increase in GFP transfection was achieved using 12% ethanol in solutions and increasing the proportions of sucrose and sodium chloride from the two buffer solutions. The cell viability was also maintained.Attorney Docket No.048831-531001WO FIGs. 35A and FIG. 35B are bar graphs showing that an increase in GFP transfection was achieved using 27% ethanol in solutions and increasing the proportions of sucrose and sodium chloride from the two buffer solutions.

FIG. 36 is a line graph showing a linear regression analysis demonstrating that the osmolal gap was solely due to ethanol, based on the difference between measured serum osmolality after ethanol addition and measured serum osmolality before ethanol addition and serum ethanol concentration in mg / dL. Osmolal Gap (mOsm / kg H2O) = 0.234 (Ethanol [mg / dL]) – 1.427 (95% CI: slope 0.226–0.243, intercept −2.971 to 0.118). FIG. 36 is reproduced from Nguyen, M. et al “Front. Med. Is the Osmolal Concentration of Ethanol Greater Than Its Molar Concentration? Jan 8, 2020, “Nguyen” incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). FIG. 37 is a bar graph showing that hypertonic solutions increase transfection. FIG. 38 is a bar graph showing the effect of the hypertonic solutions on viability.

FIG.40A and 40B are schematics of cells being expanded in an embodiment of the single-use assembly of the delivery platform (FIG. 40A) operated in a static mode with a settled bed of cells, and (FIG.40B), cells expanded in a single-use assembly of the delivery platform with improved growth conditions in a cell bed that is expanded with an upward flow. FIG. 41 is a schematic outlining the experimental set-up for the delivery apparatus and methods described herein.Attorney Docket No.048831-531001WO FIG. 42 is a schematic outlining a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) mixing pattern. FIG. 43 is a schematic outlining a mixing pattern. FIG. 44 is a schematic outlining a control strategy for the delivery apparatus and methods described herein.

FIG. 47 is a table depicting an exemplary target product – cell – profile. FIG.48 is a graph and table depicting large scale CAR-T manufacture experimental results. The results show that starting with 50 million cells and after 7 days, there was a cell output of a billion cells. When the cells are transduced, about half are CAR+, and half are CAR-, and the ratio is maintained over the course of expansion. A low MOI (multiplicity of infection) of one was observed – and industry standards range from 1-3.Attorney Docket No.048831-531001WO FIG. 49 are data depicting a fed batch bioreactor strategy fold expansion as compared to a gas permeable membrane bioreactor for T Cells, which show increased fold- expansion at day 17 for BR2 at 100 mL and 10% feed. DETAILED DESCRIPTION Despite some advances, delivery of certain particles and / or molecules into cells remains a challenge. Factors such as size or charge of a molecule to be delivered into a cell can limit and / or prevent delivery of the molecule into the cell. In particular, delivery across the cell membrane can be complicated due to the molecule and / or the membrane of the cell. A cell membrane or plasma is a semi-permeable biological membrane, which acts as a selective barrier. The membrane regulates an internal chemical composition of the cell. As the selective barrier for the cell, the membrane can allow only certain molecules to passively translocate across the membrane through, for example, passive diffusion into the cell. Small, hydrophobic molecules (such as O2, CO2, and N2) and small, uncharged polar molecules (such as H2O and glycerol) can passively diffuse across cell membranes. Larger, uncharged polar molecules (such as amino acids, glucose, and nucleotides) and ions (such as H+, Na+, K+and Cl-) cannot passively diffuse across cell membranes. The described system has the flexibility to operate as either a static culture, a fed- batch bioreactor or a perfusion bioreactor, increasing the breath of applicability of the system. (1) For example, a fed-batch bioreactor offers significant advantages over a static culture bioreactor by enabling greater control over the growth environment, leading to improved cell density and productivity. In fed-batch systems, nutrients can be added incrementally, preventing nutrient depletion and toxic byproduct accumulation, which are common challenges in static cultures. This dynamic feeding strategy supports prolongedAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO cell growth phases and optimized metabolite production, making a fed-batch bioreactor ideal for scaling up cell therapy manufacturing processes and achieving consistent outputs. (2) In many workflows, the system described here uses less cell culture medium, which is very costly, to achieve the same terminal number of cells, for example, for infusion of a therapeutic dose of cells. (3) The system described here usually operates independently of an incubator, whereas a gas permeable membrane bioreactor is entirely dependent on placement in an incubator to operate. This dependency also limits the number of units to those that can be accommodated an incubator and their locational placement within that incubator. Integration of non-viral transfection with cell expansion and processing steps Process integration has the potential to reduce the number of sequential processing steps used during cell therapy manufacturing, thereby reducing operator interventions, shortening the overall process time (vein-to-vein time), and decreasing batch cost. Advanced equipment design that aims to create fully closed systems will help to avoid risky open operations. Additionally, the use of a cell expansion system with improved and controlled mass transfer has the potential to increase cell growth rates with improved control of cell quality. Some implementations of the methods and apparatus’ described herein address these limitations. Some example implementations of the current subject matter can include utilizing a delivery platform that includes a chamber (e.g., a pod or bioreactor) to perform sequential unit operations (used in cell therapy processing) in a single, integrated closed system. Manufacturing process steps integrated together may include viral- and non-viral cell transfection, cell expansion (static, fed batch and / or perfusion), cell washing, cellAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO concentration and cell formulation. As one application, integrating cell transfection and cell expansion in a single system can reduce the number of systems used in cell manufacturing. In some examples, the methods and systems described herein include a delivery platform for performing a technique of contacting cells (e.g., non-adherent cells) with a volume of aqueous solution, where the aqueous solution includes the payload / cargo to be delivered to the cells. In some implementations, the delivery system includes a spray head, bags or reservoirs (e.g., where the bags or reservoirs may include different fluids), pumps, an interface screen, and a pod (e.g., a bioreactor or transfection chamber). In some examples, the pod (e.g., a bioreactor or transfection chamber) may be utilized for transfection, where cells are transferred to the transfection chamber, culture medium is removed (e.g., by centrifugation), and cargos or payloads are combined with a delivery solution (e.g., which may include sucrose, potassium chloride, HEPES and water), and subsequently delivered to the cells in the transfection chamber. In another example, the delivery platform utilizes a method for the delivery of a payload / cargo compounds to cells (e.g., non-adherent cells). In some implementations, an example of the delivery platform is the Single Use System (SUS) provided by Avectas Limited of Dublin, Ireland. The (SUS) is described in more detail below and includes a pod, which is sometimes referred to as a Single Use Assembly (SUA). It has been demonstrated that the SUA can be used to first edit T cells (using GFP mRNA), and then expand the cells (for 4 days) within the SUA. Results of the cell expansion (using the SUA) demonstrated comparable growth rates of edited cells in the SUA, as when edited cells were expanded in T Flasks (a common system used to expand T cells). As described in more detail herein, a membrane at the bottom of the closed SUAAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO chamber can serve as a cell retention mechanism during wash and / or perfusion steps. This allows integration of wash steps into the transfection and expansion operations. Some implementations of the systems and methods described herein can facilitate advancing from batch operation to fed batch or perfusion operation during cell expansion. The rocking and vibrating function of the SUS can be utilized to enhance mass transfer during cell expansion, thus improving mass transfer, enhancing media utilization, and improving volumetric productivity. Feed lines at the bottom and side of the reaction chamber can be used to add fresh media and / or remove spent media, including the applications of cell washing and cell concentration. An integrated SUA solution, after being developed for use in Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) manufacturing processes, can replace existing technologies based on single step unit operations. These includes existing cell culture expansion systems and cell washing / concentration equipment and existing cell transfection technologies using Electroporation. While autologous cell therapy is a most exciting new technology, its widespread commercial adoption has in part lagged expectations due to the complexity of manufacturing cell therapy products. Commercial viability is most often called into question because of the cost of manufacturing as well as due to concerns of scaling manufacturing processes to serve large numbers of patients. The latter concern is driven by the fact that autologous cell therapy is patient specific and personalized, where each dose is manufactured individually from a patient’s own cells. Consequently, large patient populations require parallel manufacturing of individual doses. This drives the cost of manufacturing since traditional scale-up approaches of increasing batch sizes with theAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO concomitant cost benefit of the larger scale do not apply. Allogeneic cell therapy attempts to overcome this by mass producing cell therapy products originating from engineered cells from healthy donors. This “off the shelf product” approach realizes the cost benefits of increased scale of manufacturing and at the same time provides mode consistency of starting materials. However, allogeneic products carry the risk of immune-mediated rejection by the host and the risk and benefits of this approach are still evaluated in clinical studies. Current manufacturing processes for autologous cell therapy products are based on technologies developed for laboratory operations. They are highly manual and require substantial expertise to execute. This increases the risk of batch failure and contributes to high labor cost. The process typically consists of many sequential steps (apheresis / fractionation, transfection / transduction, expansion, harvest, formulation, many washes in between steps), thus requiring multiple manipulations, most of which are executed in laminar flow hoods (due to lack of fully closed manufacturing systems). The frequent manipulations increase the risk of human error and contamination, resulting in re- work and reduced success rate. There are several products available on the market that address the issue. Current bioreactors are designed as a closed system solely for cell expansion, the handling of which is proposed to be parallelized and automated by robotics. No other unit operations are integrated, as described herein. Similarly, other bioreactors are comprised of a closed system for cell expansion without integration of other process steps. The outcomes of cell therapy manufacturing are less predictable than in traditional biologics manufacturing. Many processes are operated in static systems that lackAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO convective transport. If left undisturbed, cells will settle on the bottom of static reactors and supply of critical nutrients and oxygen to the cells and through the layers of cells in the sedimented bed occurs by diffusion only. This is one of the main drawbacks of static systems since the bed of cells that is formed on the bottom consumes nutrients and oxygen faster than can be resupplied by diffusion. Substantial gradients in critical nutrients and oxygen across the cell layers may develop together with gradients in waste products like lactate, ammonia, and CO2, leaving the bottom layers of the cell bed deprived of oxygen and nutrients, as well as exposed to potentially detrimental waste product concentrations. As a result, one may expect a negative impact on expansion and health of the cell population. Mixing issues are addressed by different approaches in several commercially available systems. The XURI bioreactor introduces convective transport through a rocking motion. The Cellares cartridge system uses a stirred tank bioreactor for cell expansion while Adva’s Cone bioreactor recirculates fluid through the expansion chamber to accomplish mixing. All these approaches aim at minimizing nutrient and gas gradients in the bioreactor and improve supply of critical nutrients and oxygen. FIG. 39 visualizes the problem of transport limitations in static bioreactors together with three different technical approaches to overcome the issue. There is very little control over process parameters (pH, dissolved oxygen, nutrients, waste products), which means that process outcomes (productivity, quality attributes) are only discovered after completion of a manufacturing run and are not influenced or controlled during the process. Most processes are simple batch operations where the concentration of critical nutrients steadily declines and therefore is likely sub-optimal during most of the process.Attorney Docket No.048831-531001WO The concentration of growth limiting waste products steadily increases and might exceed critical limits. The use of highly variable starting materials (such as cells from patients) exacerbates the process and product quality variation observed in the final product. Control of such variation requires advances in adaptive process control the implementation of which is still in its infancy in cell manufacturing. The Lonza Cocoon system, Adva’s CAMP technology, and Cellares’ integrated production system claim to be designed to control critical parameters. Another cost driver is the low volumetric productivity of cell manufacturing. Typically, static processes are seeded at low initial concentration (e.g., 1*106cells / cm2with 10 cm media height, leading to a cell concentration of 1*105cells / mL). The static culture conditions (lacking convective transport mentioned above), result in very inefficient use of media during cell expansion, therefore large fluid volumes and sometimes multiple reaction vessels are required to produce sufficient cells to dose a patient. This in turn leads to many manual operations with prohibitively high raw material and labor cost. Publicly available application notes for the integrated and automated solutions mentioned above show cell concentrations at the end of expansion of about 1*107cells / mL, which still represents a low volumetric productivity compared to large scale production using mammalian cells. Media to grow cells are complex and cell processes require costly additives (e.g., Interleukins) to support cell expansion. This exacerbates the impact of low intensity processing due to inefficient utilization of expensive media and media additives. The current state of cell therapy manufacturing is not dissimilar to manufacturing of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) in the mid to late 1980s, where MAb manufacturing was perceived as a complex, expensive, and low productivity operation that might be anAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO impediment to the commercial success of this promising class of molecules. Manufacturing was performed in very basic equipment with minimal process control using complex and oftentimes ill-defined media. Thanks to huge progress in process sciences and equipment design, MAb manufacturing has become industrialized, and costs have been reduced to an extent that MAbs can now be considered even for high volume / low margin applications like infectious diseases. A similar effort to industrialize cell manufacturing may substantially improve the commercial outlook for cell therapy products. Innovative approaches to process and equipment design will be required to move beyond the current technologies. The concerns outlined above offer a tremendous opportunity to introduce technological advances with considerable commercial potential. Improvements to cell manufacturing Three major themes for opportunities to improve cell manufacturing are identified, and which can be addressed by the example systems and methods described herein. Process integration has the potential to reduce the number of sequential processing steps, thereby possibly reducing the number of operator interventions, shortening the overall process time (vein-to-vein time), and positively impacting batch cost. Advanced equipment design that aims to create fully closed systems will help to avoid risky open operations. Introducing next generation cell expansion systems with improved and controlled mass transfer will allow to advance from static “set it and forget it” modes of operation to strategies where the cell population thrives in a well-controlled microenvironment with optimized nutrient and oxygen concentrations and non-inhibitory waste product levels. In addition to improved mass transfer, advancing from uncontrolled batch processes to better controlled fed batch operation, continuous systems, or a hybrid of both approaches will lead to aAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO further optimized microenvironment that supports cell growth while at the same time allowing for control of critical quality attributes including viability, differentiation, and potency of the cell therapy product. Overall, improved process control in a system of optimized mass transfer will have a positive impact on volumetric productivity with benefits for process reliability and predictability and the concomitant impact on reduced cost of manufacturing. A review of the current configuration of the Single Use Assembly (SUA) provided that the SUA can combine several design elements that address mass transfer and process control concerns in cell manufacturing. Therefore, the SUA offers an opportunity for integrating at least two operations (cell expansion and transfection) in a single piece of equipment. The combination of process integration with advanced mass transfer and improved manufacturing strategies can address several cost and efficiency concerns in autologous cell therapy manufacturing. Integrating transfection and cell expansion in a single system can be accomplished by utilizing the transfection chamber as a bioreactor. This approach reduces the number of systems to be used in cell manufacturing. Process integration can include viral systems, which can be supported by the SUA’s capability to increase cell concentration through the removal of fluid via the bottom membrane. This can allow transduction without the need of concentration through centrifugation. In some implementations, the filter (the filter within the delivery platform on which the cells are deposited) is coated with promotors and other materials during the transduction process. In some implementations, a promoter refers to a control region of a nucleic acid sequence at which initiation and rate of transcription of the remainder of a nucleic acid sequence are controlled. A promoterAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO regulates (e.g., activates or represses) expression or transcription of the nucleic acid sequence that it is operably linked to. A promoter may also contain sub-regions at which regulatory proteins and molecules may bind, such as RNA polymerase and other transcription factors. Promoters may be constitutive, inducible, activatable, repressible, tissue-specific, cell type- specific, cell state-specific, or any combination thereof. Promoter DNA sequences may include different elements such as CpG islands, a TATA, initiator (Inr), upstream and downstream TFIIB recognition elements (BREu and BREd), and downstream core promoter element (DPE). The concomitant lower number of operations may have a beneficial impact on overall process time, e.g., reduce vein-to-vein time. The membrane at the bottom of the reaction chamber can serve as a cell retention mechanism during wash and / or perfusion steps. This may allow integration of wash steps into transfection and expansion operations. It can furthermore facilitate advancing from batch operation to fed batch or perfusion operation during cell expansion. The rocking and vibrating function can be utilized to enhance mass transfer during cell expansion, thus improving mass transfer, enhancing media utilization, and improving volumetric productivity. Feed lines at the bottom and side of the reaction chamber can be used to add fresh media and / or remove spent media. Post transfection, it can be expected that the cell population to settle on top of the membrane at the bottom of the chamber. Feeding media from below the membrane may lead to a slight expansion of the cell population in the upward flow, similar to a liquid fluidized bed of particles where gravity and drag forces are balanced with an upward force of the fluid flow, resulting in a stable expansion of the particles. Even distribution of the upward fluid flow through the membrane will bring fresh nutrients to the expanded bed of cells, therebyAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO overcoming the nutrient depletion that settled cell beds experience in traditional static systems. This will also remove inhibitory waste products from the cell bed. FIG. 40A and FIG. 40B (showing a schematic of the SUA) illustrates this. Sensors for critical parameters like pH and oxygen concentration can be added to the SUA reaction chamber, which can substantially improve process control with the concomitant benefits to process consistency and predictability. This also supports the progression from batch to fed batch and perfusion operation. In its most advanced state, this creates opportunities for adaptive control of the cell culture environment. The system has the potential for automation of many process steps, which reduces manual interactions. In combination with the closed system properties of the device, such an integrated and automated process will reduce the number of open operations, which increases manufacturing success rates and has the potential to reduce labor cost. The short duration of the delivery system transfection cycle allows for the performance of consecutive transfections, pooling of the transfected cells, and seeding the pooled cell population back into the SUA. This high-density cell seeding approach can substantially reduce the time needed to expand the cell population in the SUA and thereby further reduce vein-to-vein time. The current concerns in cell therapy manufacturing, the opportunities arising from using the SUA as an integrated cell manufacturing system and proposed technical approaches to capitalize on the opportunities are summarized in Table 1 below.

For example, inAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO clinical or therapeutic treatment methods, cells can be extracted from a patient, isolated (e.g., concentrated or enriched), and subsequently be treated with the cell engineering methods. The engineered cells can be expanded and returned to the patient. For delivery across cell membranes, methods using viral vectors can be used. However, the methods based on viral vectors generally require high costs and complex processes, provide limited accessibility, and offer variable and inconsistent results. Methods based on electroporation can also be used. However, the electroporation-based methods generally result in higher cell damage and offer poor cell recovery and cell functionality. Some implementations of the present disclosure are to provide solution-based delivery to address the cost and complexity challenges for the cell engineering technologies. To provide a reliable and consistent method for cell therapies, some implementations of the current subject matter can provide a cell engineering method and platform to deliver compounds or mixtures of compounds (e.g., payload) into cells across cell membranes by contacting the cells with a delivery solution containing the payload. The cells may be suspension cells or adherent. In some implementations, the delivery of payload into cells across cell membranes can be performed by including in the solution an agent for reversibly permeabilizing cell membranes, which can also be referred to as a cell poration process. Further, poration of cells can refer to a process of permeabilizing cell membranes and delivering payloads across cell membranes into cells. Some implementations of the current subject matter can provide a platform for cell engineering that can provide clinical grade transfection in that treated cells have high viability and expression. In addition, the delivery platform can provide smaller scale cell processing and can be used for experimental designs involving smaller quantities of cells,Attorney Docket No.048831-531001WO such as .5M- 15M cells. The platform can include features that make it easy to use, for example, by having single-use pods for performing the cell engineering process that is described in more detail herein. In some embodiments, the pod can be resuable. In some embodiments, the pods can be chamber. The system can include control features enabling easy to implement and repeatable cell processing. Some implementations can be particularly useful, for example, in research and development efforts. The platform can also be used for vector-free delivery of payload / cargo compounds and compositions into non-adherent cells. Using the platform of the present disclosure, other cell engineering processes may also be performed before and / or after the delivery process, which can significantly enhance productivity and allow the overall process to be streamlined. Moreover, not only the non- viral transfection method but also viral methods may be performed within the single platform. The delivery platform described herein can achieve delivery of a payload across a plasma membrane of a non-adherent cell by performing the steps of providing a population of non-adherent cells and contacting the population of cells with a volume of an isotonic aqueous solution, the aqueous solution including the payload. In some implementations, the aqueous solution does not include an alcohol (e.g., the solution is in the absence of alcohol (e.g., 0% ethanol)). In some implementations, the solution can also include an alcohol at greater than 0.2 percent (v / v) concentration. For example, the alcohol comprises ethanol (e.g., greater than 5% ethanol, greater than 10% ethanol, and the like). In some examples, the aqueous solution comprises between 20-30% ethanol, e.g., 27% ethanol. Other compositions are possible.Attorney Docket No.048831-531001WO Cell expansion Cell expansion refers to the process of culturing isolated cells for multiple generations in order to reach the desired number of cells for a regenerative response in the patient. This process involves serial passages in closed culture vessels and the use of culture medium to remove accumulated metabolites and provide nutrients. As described herein, a bioreactor may be used for cell expansion, which controls the growth of cells in a controlled environment to produce the desired products. The integrated platform described herein is for both transducing and expanding cells (e.g., CAR-T cells) aimed at the manufacturer for autoimmune and immuno-oncology indications and scale out. The SUA described is a self-contained bioreactor in addition to capacity to effect transfection, transduction and other manufacturing process steps. The described bioreactor includes a polystyrene jacket designed with the bioreactor to include a heating element (e.g., to insulate the device). The heating element may be used to control the temperature with precision. The processes optimized on this instrument was implemented and scaled-out on a controller device. A number of factors may be optimized for using the systems and device as described herein for cell expansion. For example, the cell expansion volume may range from about 25 mL to about 1000 mL, or from about 50 mL to about 900 mL, or from about 100 mL to about 800 mL, or from about 200 mL to about 700 mL, or from about 300 mL to about 600 mL, or from about 400 mL to about 500 mL, or from about 100 to about 200 mL, or from about 200 to about 400 mL. In some implementations, the total volume of the chamber is about 960 mL. The capacity of the chamber is sufficient to manufacture an autologous dose of a CAR-T product for autoimmune (where dosing may be in the rangeAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO of 1.50e8 CAR-T cells) or an immuno-oncology cell therapy product (which may be dosed in the range 6e8 - 1e9 cells). In other implementations, the flask activation prior to activation may be optimized and be from a range of 24 hours to 72 hours, or anywhere in between. In other examples, the cell culture density input (cells / mL) may range from 0.12- 0.4x10e6 / mL (in 100 mL) to 2x10e6 / mL (in 25 mL), or anywhere there between. In other examples, the cell culture density output (cells / mL) may range from 3.8x10e6 / mL (in 100 mL) to 3.4x10e6 / mL (in 300 mL), or anywhere there between. Furthermore, the total cells may be optimized and may range from 3.7x10e6 (6 days in the SUA) to 1x10e9 (6 days in the SUA), or anywhere there between. The integrated platform described herein may also require less media than commercially available equipment. For example, the platform may use about 4-6x less media to get the same cell growth. The system utilized of 300 mL of media to yield 1.1e9 cells by day 7 of culture. In other examples, the SUA may be implemented within an incubator. For the expansion and incubation steps, the SUA may be connected to an external O2and / or CO2source (2 or 3 gas mixer) via a gas regulator or mixer. Some expansion may be achieved with air only while rocking, warming and pressure parameters may be optimized. The current subject matter can also provide a platform that can automate the cell transfection and transduction process and allow delivery to cells to be performed at various scales. When cells are manually loaded to the platform and / or manually unloaded from the platform, the throughput of the system is limited, difficulties exist in applying to clinical process / treatment. There may be concerns for contamination and inconsistent processAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO depending on operators and / or various environmental parameters. By the process automation, the delivery process can be performed more consistently, a concern for contamination can be significantly reduced, and therefore, the system can be scaled more easily. Exemplary embodiments of the delivery platform to perform the delivery process with manual and automated processes will be described. An example pod according to some implementations is shown in FIGs. 15-19 and is described more fully below. The example pod includes an upper portion 1605, a filter plate 1610, and a lower portion 1615. In some implementations, pods may be designed for specific cell populations and sizes. For example, pods can include different lower portions based on the culture. As used herein, the pod can be referred to as a chamber, a chamber assembly, a single-use assembly, or a disposable assembly, for example. In some implementations, the pod may be manufactured as a single molding rather than having multiple parts that clip together. The pod may have its filter membrane bonded into this single substrate. The pod may have a filter with a smaller diameter such that a smaller population of cells may be treated. The pod may have markings molded into it to indicate fill level or have molded features to ensure orientation within the platform is consistent. The pod may have multiple features to enable it to be retained within a pod holder or stack outside of the apparatus. The pod may have a lid feature to facilitate incubation of cells within it. The pod may have a one-way check valve implemented to enable culture medium to be maintained within the cavity beneath the filter, or to support culture medium above the filter medium to keep cells in suspension post use of the pod. As another example, some pods can include a hydroscopic foam located in the lower portion for pulling fluid from above the filter plate. Such an approach can be used toAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO pull a delivery and / or payload solution off a cellular monolayer formed above the filter plate, thereby controlling a length of contact between the cell population and the delivery and / or payload solution. An example foam is 3M™ Tegaderm™ Foam Dressing (non- adhesive). As another example, the lower portion does not include holes and can include a flat tissue cultured treated surface. Such an implementation can be suitable for adherent cell populations to enhance adherence. Such an implementation with a flat surface can be utilized for delivery to tissue explants or engineered tissues. In some implementations, the pod can be suitable for culturing cells. Rather than immediately removing the cells from the pod, the cells can be cultured for a period of time, such as hours or days. In such implementations the pod can be formed of culture compatible materials and a pod lid can be provided. In some implementations, the pod can include memory storing process parameters. For example, a pod memory can be programmed with the process parameters such that, when the pod is inserted into the cell engineering platform, a controller on the cell engineering platform reads, from the pod memory, the process parameters. The cell engineering can proceed using the process critical parameters, for example, via an automated fashion (e.g., an amount of solution delivered to the cells can be determined by the controller), or via displaying instructions to the user via a display. By having the process parameters stored on the pod prior to conducting the delivery process, repeatability can be improved because the user is not required to enter the process parameters into the platform. In another example, the process parameters are first loaded into the controller of the cell engineering platform, and the delivery process is performed using thoseAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO parameters. After completion of the process, the cell engineering platform can write to the pod memory the process parameters for future reference. These process parameters can include any parameter utilized or described herein as related to delivery of a payload into a cell. For example, the delivery protocol such as solution compositions, exposure lengths, incubation times, wash cycles, temperatures, spray characteristics, pressures, volumes (e.g., of delivery solution to be applied, media to introduce, and the like), cell characteristics, and the like. In some implementations, the cell engineering platform can write information such as an experiment identifier, date, time, and the like, to the pod memory for future use and / or reference. In some implementations, pods can communicate with one another. For example, a container or housing adapted to hold multiple pods can include connections between the pods so that the container reads data from the memory of a first pod, and copies some or all of the data to the other pods contained in the container. Such an approach can also improve repeatability because, once the first pod is programmed with process critical parameters, that data is replicated to the other pods without modification to some or all of the data. In some implementations, the pod can include a memory, a processor, and / or a communications module, such as a near-field or radio frequency identification (RFID) communication module capable of communicating with the cell engineering platform and / or other pods. In some implementations, the pod can include electrical contacts for communicating with the cell engineering platform when the pod is inserted into the cell engineering platform. Other implementations are possible. Example 1Attorney Docket No.048831-531001WO FIG.1 is an isometric view of a computer aided design (CAD) drawing illustrating an example embodiment of a delivery platform 100 according to some embodiments disclosed herein. The delivery platform 100 includes a pod 105 configured to be received and positioned within a pod nest 110. An example pod 105 is illustrated in FIGs. 15-19. The pod 105 can include an upper portion 1605, a filter plate 1610, and a lower portion 1615. The pod 105 can provide a processing surface, via the filter plate 1610, on which cells can be provided for treatment and processing. For example, the filter plate 1610 can be configured to receive a filter for use in forming a monolayer of cells to be processed using the delivery platform 100. The pod 105 can be received and positioned within the pod nest 110. In some embodiments, the atomizer nest 115 can be a fixed distance above the pod 105. The atomizer nest 115 can be a fixed distance from the pod nest 110 to reduce the number of variables or degrees of freedom available to the user thereby providing a system that is easier to use. For example, the atomizer nest 115 can be fixed about 75 mm above the pod 105. The pod nest 110 can include a circular opening to receive the pod 105. A lower portion 1615 of the pod 105 can be mated to the filter plate 1610 by coupling the lower portion 1615 with a portion of the filter plate 1610 extending through the circular opening of the pod nest 110. The pod nest 110 can provide support to the pod 105 and can maintain the position of the pod 105 during cell processing using the delivery platform 100. For example, the pod nest 110 can maintain the position of the pod 105 to ensure the treatment surface of the pod 105, e.g., the filter plate 1610, is sufficiently located to receive adequate amounts of delivery solution.Attorney Docket No.048831-531001WO As further shown in FIG. 1, the delivery platform 100 includes an atomizer nest 115.

A tube 1625 is attached to an opening feature on the underside of the filter plate coupling 1615, such as the hole 1620 shown in FIG. 16C. FIG. 17 is an isometric view of a CAD drawing illustrating an exemplary embodiment of a pod assembly within a pod nest of the delivery platform 100 of FIG. 1. FIG.18 is an cross-sectional view of the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG.17. FIGS. 19A-19C are CAD drawings illustrating example embodiments of the filter plate coupling of the pod assembly 1500 shown in FIG.15. The filter plate coupling 1615 shown in FIGS 19A-19C corresponds to the filter plate coupling 1615 shown in FIG.16C. The dimensions of the filter plate coupling 1615 shown in FIGS. 19A-19C are exemplary and not intended to limit the size or configuration of the filter plate coupling 1615. FIG. 20 is a flow diagram illustrating an example embodiment of a process for delivery of payload to cells using the delivery platform 100 of FIG. 1. In operation, the target cells may be mixed in a medium at a particular concentration. For example, about 60 million cells may be mixed in about 60 mL medium. The prepared cell-containing medium may be introduced into the pod 105 via a disposable tube set and / or sterile needle / cannula. The loading procedure may be performed manually, or may be performed automatically using a pump (e.g., peristaltic pump or positive displacement pump) and a controller, as described boave. Similarly, the valve operation may be performed manually, or may be performed automatically using, for example, a solenoid valve and a controller. After the valves are closed, in some implementations, theAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO medium displaces through the filter of the pod 105 by reason of gravity. In some implementations, a vacuum pressure is supplied to the lower portion 1615 of the pod 15 through the port of the lower portion. Accordingly, the medium is displaced through the filters, thereby depositing the target cells (e.g., T cells) on the filter surfaces. A beaker or other container may be used, for example, to collect the medium below the pod nest 110. In some implementations, a positive pressure and the vacuum pressure may be alternatingly supplied to the lower portion of the pod during the discharge of the medium to adjust / rearrange the cell deposition on the filters. Subsequently, the delivery solution containing the payload (e.g., cargo) is sprayed via the atomizer. The controller may control the amount and duration of the spray. For example, the delivery solution may be sprayed for about 300 ms. For spraying the delivery solution, the cargo may be introduced to the spray head via microvial or injected via resealable injection port. After the delivery solution is sprayed, a stop solution can be introduced via a disposable tube set and / or sterile plastic needle / cannula. The stop solution may be supplied manually, or may be supplied automatically using the pump and the controller. A desired amount of stop solution is introduced into the chamber. For example, about 10 mL of stop solution may be introduced over about 20 seconds. In some implementations, no stop solution is introduced to the cells. Following the introduction of the stop solution, the cells are resuspended. For the resuspension, about 60 mL medium, which may be a used, new medium or the medium that was previously drained from the chamber, can be introduced by a syringe or a pump. The duration for the resuspension step may be about 1 minute. To improve resuspension,Attorney Docket No.048831-531001WO various methods such as tilting of the platform, agitation (e.g., vibration of the platform), and the like may be used during the resuspension process or after the resuspension process. After the cells are resuspended in the medium, the engineered cells are collected for further processes. The pod may be flushed or washed after the process for subsequent procedures. Alternatively or additionally, the entire pod or a part of the pod may be made as a disposable unit that can be disposed after a use and replaced with a new one. FIG. 20 shows an exemplary process 2000. The process 2000, however, is not limited to operations shown in FIG. 20, and the process parameters, such as amount (volume) of medium, number of cells, concentration, duration for each step, may be varied depending on applications. With reference to FIG. 20, at 2005, a sterile pod can be loaded onto the platform. At 2010, the pod can be primed with basal media and gravity can be allowed to drain the pod. At 2015, the pod base can be blotted to remove residual media. At 220 cells can be loaded onto the pod. At 2025, a cell monolayer can be formed through gravity filtration. At 2030, the pod base can be blotted to remove residual media. At 2035, the pod can be reloaded into the platform. At 2040, the cells can be sprayed by the platform with the delivery solution. At 2045, the lower portion of the pod assembly can be connected. At 2050, termination solution can be added to the pod. At 2055, recovery media can be applied via the lower portion. At 2060, cells can be removed from the pod. The exemplary embodiments described in the Example 1 section can transfect from about 0.5 million to 15 million cells in a single transfection. The platform can allow consistent delivery of cargos, such as mRNA and the like, to T cells. The system may be enclosed within a biosafety cabinet for a sterile operation. The operation of the systemAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO may be performed manually or automatically. For the automated operation, the fluid handling system can be controlled automatically via the controller and control software. The platform may be configured as a multiple-use system which can be reused after cleaning and washing. In some implementations, the platform may be configured as a single-use, disposable system which includes disposable parts such as a disposable pod. Example 2 FIG.23 illustrates an image of another example embodiment of a delivery platform 2300 according to some embodiments disclosed herein. In some implementations, the delivery platform 2300 can operate as a closed system in which cell processing experiments and production can occur within a sterile, sealed environment with reduced risk of contamination. In some embodiments, the delivery platform 2300 can be configured to perform some or all of the steps of process 2000 for delivery to cells as shown and described in relation to FIG. 20. In such embodiments, the pod 105 can be considered equivalent with the filter 2715 configured within the chamber assembly 2325. As shown in FIG. 23, in some implementations, the delivery platform 2300 can include an instrument housing mounted to a base. The base can enable the delivery platform 2300 to be located or mounted on a bench, within a vented hood workspace, a desktop, a workbench, or the like. In some embodiments, the delivery platform 2300 can be mounted on a mobile base configured to transport the delivery platform 2300 from one location to another. Some configurations, such as mobile configurations, of the delivery platform 2300 can be positioned in proximity of a patient, for example, to more readily receive cell volumes directly from a patient and / or provide cells that have undergoneAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO delivery of a payload directly to the patient without requiring multiple handling steps, which can potentially introduce contamination. As shown in FIG. 23, the delivery platform 2300 can include a display 2305 providing a human-machine interface (HMI) 2310. The HMI 2310 can be configured to receive user inputs associated with operation of the delivery platform 2300 and to provide outputs associated with the operations of the delivery platform 2300. In some embodiments, the HMI 2310 can be configured with one or more workflows, which can be initiated, performed, and / or stopped based on user-interaction with the HMI 23210. Individual processing workflows can be performed in a variety of non-limiting sequences based on broader user-defined workflows associated with a particular cell type, a particular reagent medium, and / or experimental application or objective. The HMI 2310 can be electrically coupled to one or more controllers configured within the delivery platform 2300. The delivery platform 2300 can also include one or more lights or visual indicators 2315 to indicate one or more statuses associated with operation of the delivery platform 2300. As shown in FIG. 23, the lights 2315 can include a plurality of lights, which can be individually operated with regard to one or more steps or procedures associated with operation of the delivery platform 2300. In some embodiments, the HMI 2310 can display one or more error or operational codes associated with an operation of the delivery platform 2300 and the lights 2315 can provide a user with a visual indication corresponding to the codes. As further shown in FIG. 23, the delivery platform 2300 can include a stop button 2320. The stop button 2320 can cease operation of the delivery platform 2300 in the event of user error or operational error when operating the delivery platform 2300.Attorney Docket No.048831-531001WO As further shown in FIG. 23, the delivery platform 2300 can include a chamber assembly 2325 mounted within a frame 2330. Advantageously, the chamber assembly 2325 can enable experiments to be performed in a variety of experimental processes without risk of contamination that can occur via re-usable assemblies. For example, the experimental processes can include a cell wash process, a cell concentration change process, and a cell medium change process. Thus, the accuracy of experimental results can be improved for different cell treatment processes compared to systems utilizing re-usable assemblies. The chamber assembly 2325 can be provided for use in a sealed, sterile packaging. The chamber assembly 2325 can include a filter upon which cells can be provided for delivery of paylod and collected following delivery. In some embodiments, the filter can be a gas-permeable and liquid permeable filter. In some embodiments, the fresh reagent media can be introduced from below the filter, such as during washing workflows. The chamber assembly 2325 can be configured within the frame 2330. In some embodiments, the frame 2330 can be a semi-circular frame or a “C”-shaped frame. The frame 2330 can be mounted to shaft extending from the delivery platform 2300. The frame 2330, shown in a horizontal orientation in FIG. 23, can be configured to tilt in an upward or downward vertical direction by rotation of the shaft. For example, in some embodiments, the frame 2330 can be configured to tilt 0-10, 5-15, 10-20, 15-25, 20-30, or 25-45 degrees from the horizontal orientation shown in FIG. 23. In some embodiments, the shaft can be configured to tilt the frame 2330 in an oscillating manner with respect to an amount of angular tilt of the frame 2330. For example, the frame 2330 can be tilted to +30 degrees and the frame 2330 can then oscillate between a positive angular orientation (e.g., + 1 degree) and a negative angular orientation (e.g., -1 degree) relative to the +30Attorney Docket No.048831-531001WO degree orientation causing the frame 2330 to oscillate between +31 degrees and +29 degrees. The frame 2330 can oscillate between the two angular orientations with a predetermined or user-defined frequency. In some embodiments, the frame 2330 can oscillate at a frequency of .5 kHz, 1 kHz, 1.5 kHz, 2 kHz, 2.5 kHz, or more. In some embodiments, the shaft and / or the frame 2330 can be coupled to a servo motor configured to vibrate the shaft and / or the frame 2330. Oscillating and / or vibrating the frame 2330 can advantageously increase the amount of cells collected following delivery of a payload compared to aspiration-based collection methods. Aspiration-based collection methods require repeated application and extraction of a collection media within the chamber assembly 2325. In addition, oscillating and / or vibrating the frame 2330 can also advantageously increase the viability of the collected cells, which can be reduced due to exposure to repeated fluid pressures and flow dynamics when cells are collected using aspiration-based collection methods. As further shown in FIG. 23, the delivery platform 2300 can include a waste collection tray 2335 at which reagents and / or media evacuated from the chamber assembly 2325 can be collected.

In some embodiments, the cell collection tray 2340 can be removed from the delivery platform 2300. In some embodiments, the cell collection tray 2340 can include a cooling element and / or a heating element to maintain the cells at a desired temperature. In some embodiments, the heating and / or cooling elements associated with the cell collection tray 2340 can be configured within the base ofAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO the delivery platform 2300. In some embodiments, the base can include a scale located underneath the waste collection tray 2335 and / or the cell collection tray 2340. In this way, the delivery platform 2300 can determine a weight of collected media materials and collected cells.

In some embodiments, the one or more values 2350 can include pinch valves. The delivery platform can include one or more fluid detection sensors 2355 configured in- line with respect to a corresponding fluid circuit. The fluid detection sensors 2355 can be configured to aid priming as well as calibration of the delivery platform 2300. In addition, the fluid detection sensors 2355 can be configured as a measurement system to calculate a volume of media within the fluid circuit between two locations. As further shown in FIG. 23, the delivery platform 2300 can include one or more pumps 2360 to pump cell culture media into the chamber assembly 2325. By pumping cell culture media into and out of the chamber assembly 2325 in a cyclic manner, while the frame 2330 is being vibrated and / or tilted, cell collection can be increased compared to non-tilting, non-vibrating cell collection operations. In some embodiments, the pumps 2360 can include peristaltic pumps.

In some embodiments, the electrical connectors 2505 can be instrument connectors to connect external instrumentation equipment to the delivery platform 2300. The external instrumentation can include, for example, an electrical thermometer, a hydrometer, aAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO barometer, photoplethysmograph sensor, load cells, biochemical sensor (e.g., an alcohol sensor), optical sensor, transducer to measure vibration (e.g., vibrating membrane microelectronic machine (MEMs)), and the like. The delivery platform 2300 can also include one or more gas connectors 2510. The gas connectors 2510 can receive a gas supply and provide the gas supply to the chamber assembly 2325 under desired pressure conditions via a gas circuit coupling the chamber assembly 2325 and the gas supply. In some embodiments, the gas connectors 2510 can receive a gas from the chamber assembly 2325, for example when purging or venting the chamber assembly 2325. In some implementations, the gas connectors 2510 can be independently controlled via software, and each gas connector 2510 can be configured to provide a static or dynamic head of pressure (e.g., a pressure set point). In some implementations, the gas connectors 2510 can operate with different gases (e.g., medical, nitrogen, and the like), can be software configurable, can provide contiguous airflow at a specified pressure into the vessel, and the like. Pressure can be provided by a flow control regulator, pressure regulator, flow transducer, pressure transducer, and the like. Pressure can be provided to other components such as an atomizer, a shower head, an Eppendorf needle, to drive the bung in a plungerless syringe, and the like. Each gas connector 2510 can be can be independently software configurable and not part of a manifold. Valve 2350 can be coupled to a gas circuit associated with one of the gas connectors 2510 (as shown in FIG. 24) and can control an amount of gas supplied to the chamber assembly 2325. The delivery platform 2300 can include a hose clamp 2515 to secure a portion of hose configured for use with the chamber assembly 2325. The delivery platform 2300 can also include one or more hangers 2520 to hold media 2345. In someAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO embodiments, the hangers 2520 can be configured with scales to determine a weight of the media 2345. As shown in FIG. 25, the delivery platform 2300 can include a bar code reader 2525. The bar code reader 2525 can be configured to scan bar-coded media, a badge associated with an operator of the delivery platform 2300, and / or bar-coded packaging containing the chamber assembly 2325. In some embodiments, the bar code reader 2525 can include a linear bar code reader or 2-D bar code reader. In some embodiments, the bar code reader 2525 can be a hand-held bar code reader. In some embodiments, the HMI 2310 can be communicatively coupled to the bar code reader 2525. Additionally, the delivery platform 2300 can include a tube welder 2530 configured to fix or apply a weld to tubing of the delivery platform 2300, such as tubing used in association with the one or more fluid circuits coupled to the media 2345. In some embodiments, the HMI 2310 can be communicatively coupled to the tube welder 2530. FIG. 26 illustrates a close-up view of a portion of the delivery platform shown in FIG. 23. As shown in FIG. 26, the chamber assembly 2325 and the frame 2330 are tilted at about a +30 degree angular orientation relative to the horizontal orientation shown in FIG. 23. In this position, the frame 2330 can oscillate in positive and negative angular movements from the + 30 degree angular orientation to aid collection of cells via a drain 2605 configured in the bottom of the chamber assembly 2325. In some embodiments, the chamber assembly 2325 can be enclosed, at least partially, in an insulative or conductive jacket to provide heating or cooling to the chamber assembly 2325. FIG. 27 illustrates an image of an example embodiment of a chamber assembly 2325 of the delivery platform shown in FIG.23. In some embodiments, one or more innerAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO surfaces or regions of the chamber assembly 2325 can be coated or patterned to aid cell mobility and / or adherence. For example, the chamber assembly 2325 can include one or more three-dimensional structures formed on one or more surfaces or regions within the chamber assembly 2325. Additional example three-dimensional structures include circumferential ribs forming a grove between adjacent ribs, spirals, radial ribs, bumps, dimples, hatch patterns, and the like. In some implementations, circumferential ribs can have a rib having a triangular profile with about 500 microns on each side, with a spacing between groves of 2 mm. In some implementations, the patterns can control the flow of cells in culture medium during the filtration process. Such patterns can direct flow towards or away from areas on the filter surface, to counteract fluid forces that tend to cause bulging of the filter in the center and even-out the concentration of cells deposited on the filter surface. A variety of non-limiting coating material may be applied to the inner surfaces of the chamber assembly 2325. In this way, the chamber assembly 2325 can provide surfaces for cell adherence, which can aid delivery, permeabilization, and / or cell collection. In some implementations, the internal chamber surfaces may be hydrophobic (e.g., made of polycarbonate for clarity of visualization) and is filter hydrophilic. In some embodiments, the chamber assembly 2325 can include one or more removable and replaceable portions, which can be swapped in or out of use. For example, a removable portion acting as a mask can be swapped in to the chamber in order to expose a smaller portion of the filter membrane. A benefit of this can include enabling the transfection of cells in small numbers e.g., less than 10^6, less than 2x10^6, less than 5x10^6 and / or less than 10^7. Cell typesAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO that can benefit include tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), human stem cells (HSCs) and induced pluripotent stem (IPS) cells. As shown in FIG. 27, the chamber assembly 2325 can include an upper portion 2705 and a lower portion 2710. The upper portion 2705 can be removable from the lower portion 2710. The lower portion 2710 can include a filter 2715 upon which cells can be deposited, permeabilized, and collected from. In some embodiments, the filter 2715 can be coated and or include a patterned material suitable for aiding cell adherence to the filter 2715. For example, the coating materials may be beneficial to reduce adherence for suspension cells, increase mobility of cells across the filter surface. This is beneficial in increasing viability (and yield) of cells that can more easily be recovered from the filter surface after transfection. A greater wet-ability also spreads the cargo and solution over the surface, thereby contacting more cells and increasing transfection. Examples of coating materials include polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) deposited on the material as a wetting agent. Such an agent allows (more easily allows) wetting and spreading of cells in medium within the chamber. A similar result may achieved by sputtering with Au (gold), oxygen plasma treatment, reduced surface charge or other strategies to render the filter surface more hydrophilic. Similarly, with adherent cells such as MSC, IPS, A549, HEK293, and macrophages, there may be a benefit to have the filter surface hydrophilic A variety of non-limiting filters 2715 can be used within the chamber assembly 2325 depending on cell types and / or experimental or therapeutic applications. The upper portion 2705 can include a gas port 2720 configured to receive a gas via the gas connectors 2510. The upper portion 2705 can also include an air diffuser opening 2725 configured to receive an air diffuser coupled to gas connectors 2510. The air diffuser can be configuredAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO to alter static air conditions within the chamber assembly 2325 and to pressurize the chamber assembly 2325 for use as a closed system. The air diffuser can supply gases or combinations of gases into the chamber assembly 2325 under various temperature and pressure conditions. For example, the air diffuser can provide a gas comprising a particular concentration of CO2 gas. As further shown in FIG.27, the upper portion 2705 can include a spray head opening 2730 configured to receive a spray head therein. The chamber assembly 2325 can be configured in a variety of non-limiting sizes and volumes. In some embodiments, the chamber assembly 2325 can have a volume of about 1L. In some embodiments, the lower portion 2710 can have a volume of about 300- 500ml. FIG. 28 illustrates an image of an example embodiment of a spray head of the single-use assembly shown in FIG.23. As shown in FIG.28, a spray head 2805 can include a gas inlet port 2810 and a fluid inlet port 2815. The gas inlet port 2810 can be coupled to any of gas connectors 2510 to supply a pressurized gas within the chamber assembly 2325. The fluid inlet port 2815 can be coupled to a supply of isotonic aqueous solution that includes a payload. A pressurized spray can be formed within the spray head 2805 and delivered into the chamber assembly 2325 via the outlet 2820. Due to the process automation, the cell engineering platform can perform the cell treatment and manipulation processes, such as transfection, more consistently, and cargo delivery can be performed more easily. Accordingly, the cell engineering platform can provide reliable vector-free delivery method to reduce the cost and complexity of the cell engineering technologies.Attorney Docket No.048831-531001WO Although a few variations have been described in detail above, other modifications or additions are possible. For example, design variations can include chamber assemblies 2325 or filters 2715 of other geometries, e.g., rectangular, square or elliptical. Additionally, chamber assemblies 2325 or filters 2715, with varying topography, can include convex, concave and textured surfaces with micro or macro features. Also, target configurations including both circular targets and annular targets are contemplated. In embodiments, the modifications or additions can optimize cell deposition under the spray target. Although the terms chamber assembly 2325 or single-use assembly is used herein, in some implementations, the chamber assembly 2325 can be reusable (e.g., can be used more than once, for example, to process multiple populations of cells). The subject matter described herein provides many technical advantages. For example, chamber assemblies as described herein avoid the need for sterilization of the system and greatly reduces the risk of cross contamination between patient samples, and enabling a simpler validation process. Another advantage is that the chamber assemblies described herein enable the delivery of multiple cargos through co-delivery through a single spray head. Furthermore, the subject matter described herein is fast and simple, and the gentle cell processing maintains cell health and enables engineering of naïve cell populations. Example 3 In some implementations, the delivery platform 2300 can be utilized for cell processing functionality in addition to delivery of a payload (e.g., transfection). For example, the delivery platform 2300 can be utilized to enable a variety of upstream and / or downstream cell processing workflows using the chamber assembly 2325. As used herein,Attorney Docket No.048831-531001WO upstream cell processing includes processes that are performed prior to delivery of a payload using the above-described process (e.g., contacting the cell population with a solution including a payload (e.g., via spray)), and downstream cell processing includes processes that are performed after delivery of a payload using the above-described process (e.g., contacting the cell population with a solution including a payload (e.g., via spray)). As an example, the chamber assembly 2325 can be utilized as a bioreactor for cell culture (e.g., incubation) of the population of cells after the above-described delivery process is performed (e.g., contacting the cell population with a solution including a payload (e.g., via spray)). By utilizing the chamber assembly 2325 for additional cell processing steps, cell viability can be improved. In order to utilize the delivery platform 2300 as an incubator, the delivery platform 2300 can provide for environmental control to maintain the population of cells within an artificial environment favorable for incubation. Ideal culture conditions can vary widely for different cell types, but the artificial environment in which the cells are cultured can include the chamber assembly 2325 as the vessel with the filter as a substrate and / or additional medium can be applied that supplies the essential nutrients (amino acids, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and the like), growth factors, hormones, and gases (oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2), Nitrogen (N2), and the like), and regulates the physicochemical environment (pH, osmotic pressure, temperature). The delivery platform 2300 can include a chamber assembly 2325 configured as a closed chamber that can enable introduction and control of sterile gases under user-defined pressure and temperature settings. For example, the delivery platform 2300 can be configured to introduce, circulate, and evacuate gases and compositions of gases within theAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO closed, sealed chamber. Examples of the gases and compositions of gases can include clinical air, nitrogen, and gases and combinations of gases associated with workflows to collect, preserve, and / or produce cells which have undergone delivery of payload using the delivery platform 2300. Temperature within the closed chamber can also be controlled according to user-defined settings by adjusting the temperature of gases supplied into the closed chamber and / or external application of heat to the closed chamber. The delivery platform 2300 can further provide motion or non-motion of the closed chamber according to user-defined procedures. Thus, a number of experimental and production parameters can be adjusted with the closed, sealed configuration of the delivery platform 2300 to increase counts of viable cells. Environmental control can include controlling the gas composition of the environment, the temperature of the environment, motion of the environment, and composition of mediums introduced into the environment. The delivery platform 2300 can control the gas composition of the environment, for example, by applying an appropriate mixture of gas via the gas diffuser to the chamber assembly 2325. For example, the delivery platform 2300 can control the environment within the chamber assembly 2325 to have a specific composition including controlling the concentration of gasses such as carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen (N2), and oxygen (O2). For a given growth medium included in the single-use assembly, the growth medium controls the pH of the culture and buffers the cells in culture against changes in the pH. This buffering can be achieved by including an organic (e.g., HEPES) or CO2-bicarbonate based buffer. Because the pH of the medium is dependent on the balance of dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) and bicarbonate (HCO3–), changes in the atmospheric CO2can alter the pH of the medium. Therefore, the deliveryAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO platform 2300 can control environmental CO2concentration when using media buffered with a CO2-bicarbonate based buffer. The CO2 concentration can be provide at between 1%-10%, 5–7%, or 4–10% CO2 in air. For example, CO2 concentrations can be maintained at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10%. The delivery platform 2300 can maintain the population of cells at a suitable temperature. This can be achieved, for example, by including a heating element within the chamber assembly 2325. The heating element can be any suitable type, for example, an electric heating element. In some implementations, a conductive sleeve can be included to aid in heat transfer and maintaining the cell population at a uniform temperature. The temperature can vary based on a particular application and population of cells. For example, the temperature of a cell population can be maintained at the body temperature of the host from which the cells were isolated, and to a lesser degree on the anatomical variation in temperature (e.g., temperature of the skin may be lower than the temperature of skeletal muscle). Overheating can be a more serious problem than under heating for cell cultures; therefore, in some cell culture protocols, the temperature can be set slightly lower than the optimal temperature. Many human and mammalian cell lines are maintained at 36°C to 37°C for optimal growth, although other temperatures are possible. In some implementations, temperature can be controlled by controlling a temperature of the gas introduced into the environment. The delivery platform 2300 can control motion of the environment. For example, the delivery platform 2300 can rock or oscillate the chamber assembly 2325 as described in more detail above. The rocking or oscillation can be performed for the duration of the cell culture, or as required by a given cell processing protocol.Attorney Docket No.048831-531001WO The delivery platform 2300 can control the media contained within the chamber assembly 2325. For example, media such as an organic (e.g., HEPES) or CO2-bicarbonate based buffer can be introduced into the chamber assembly via a port. In some implementations, the media can be introduced via the syringe 2370 to provide media (such as media 2345) to the chamber assembly 2325. In some implementations, to prevent the culture media from draining from the chamber assembly 2325, a pinch valve or clip can be included on the tubing below the single-use assembly to maintain the media in the assembly for a longer period of time. When utilizing the chamber assembly 2325 for cell culture, cells can be seeded at a density to allow for growth. In some implementations, cell metabolites can be analyzed during cell culture. For example, glucose, glutamine, lactate and CO2 can be monitored as part of controlling the changing of culture medium during the cell culture process. In some implementations, different culture mediums can be introduced and / or removed as desired. In some implementations, cell samples can be removed from the population of cells, for example, for testing during the culture process. By enabling removal of cells during cell culture, additional measurements and / or testing can be performed on a cell culture over a time period. In some implementations, cells can be removed and placed into an external bio-reactor (e.g., another pod or chamber suitable for cell culture). In some implementations, cell removal can be achieved via extraction through one or more tubes. In some implementations, the cells can be stirred during the cell culture. In some implementations, the stirring can be performed manually. In some implementations, the stirring can be performed by the delivery platform 2300, such as via oscillating the chamberAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO assembly 2325. Vibrational perturbations in the frequency range 50 Hz to 2500 Hz and physical excursions (e.g., amplitude) of 2mm or more may provide appropriate mixing or agitation. In some implementations, lower or higher frequencies (e.g., 1-50 Hz, or 2500- 5000 Hz) and greater amplitude (e.g., 2-20 mm) can be used. As another example of a downstream process the delivery platform 2300 can be configured to perform, the delivery platform 2300 can be utilized for performing a cryopreservation process. For example, cryopreserving cultured cells can include storing them in liquid nitrogen in complete medium in the presence of a cryoprotective agent such as dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) or glycerol. Cryoprotective agents reduce the freezing point of the medium and also allow a slower cooling rate, greatly reducing the risk of ice crystal formation, which can damage cells and cause cell death. Accordingly, a cryoprotective agent such as DMSO can be provided into the chamber assembly 2325, for example, using a port in the chamber assembly 2325 to aid in cryopreservation of the population of cells (e.g., cells after undergoing one or more of the above-described processes such as delivery of a payload using a permeabilization agent (e.g., transfection), virus-based transduction, cell culture, and the like). In some embodiments, the delivery platform 2300 can be configured to allow for introducing viral components to a volume of cells within the closed chamber to culture or co-culture the cells (e.g., a cell transduction process). For example, replication-deficient viruses containing genetic material to be introduced into the target cells can be added to the cell population before or after the above-described delivery process is performed (e.g., contacting the cell population with a solution including a payload (e.g., via spray)).Attorney Docket No.048831-531001WO The delivery platform 2300 can further be configured for downstream processing such as washing, harvesting, and cryopreservation. In some embodiments, the delivery platform 2300 can be easily connected to other experimental or therapeutic devices, platforms, or systems. For example, the delivery platform 2300 can be fluidically coupled to other specialized or traditional permeabilization or cell processing platforms, such as an Eppendorf reactor. The delivery platform 2300 can readily facilitate upstream processing, such as activation of cells and / or beads within the closed chamber, as well as priming of cells during transduction and / or transfection workflows. Cell washing and volume reduction can be performed as upstream processing steps. Other upstream processes can be used as well. The delivery platform 2300 can advantageously provide a controllable, closed environment that is easily configured in experimental and application-specific settings and does not require expensive, complicated machinery or automated mechanisms to operate. The configuration of interchangeable mediums and collection vessels can enable flexible, adjustable workflows or process loops that are application or experiment-specific while maintaining sterile, uncontaminated operation of the delivery platform 2300. Frequently, contamination can be introduced via open systems, or movement / relocation of a platform. Contamination can also be introduced in systems that require connection and disconnection of multiple fluidic channels or conduits to introduce or extract cells and / or reagent mediums. The subject matter described herein provides many technical advantages. For example, by utilizing the delivery platform 2300 for performing cell culture, someAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO implementations can provide for excellent model systems for studying the normal physiology and biochemistry of cells (e.g., metabolic studies, aging), the effects of drugs and toxic compounds on the cells, and mutagenesis and carcinogenesis. It can also be used in drug screening and development, and large scale manufacturing of biological compounds (e.g., vaccines, therapeutic proteins). By utilizing the delivery platform 2300 for performing cell culture, consistency and reproducibility of results can be improved. Moreover, by utilizing the delivery platform 2300 for performing cell culture, the cells do not need to be moved from the single use assembly to a separate vessel or culture well, which can improve viability and reduce contamination. Although the terms upstream processing and downstream processing have been used herein, some implementations of the current subject matter can implement any process step in any desired order. For example, the processes can be user-defined and can be defined in any order (whether the steps occur upstream or downstream). Embodiments of Example Delivery Protocols The invention is based on the surprising discovery that compounds or mixtures of compounds (compositions) are delivered into the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells by contacting the cells with a solution containing a compound(s) to be delivered (e.g., payload). Preferably, the solution is delivered to the cells in the form of a spray, e.g., aqueous particles. (see, e.g., PCT / US2015 / 057247 and PCT / IB2016 / 001895, hereby incorporated in their entirety by reference). For example, the cells are coated with the spray but not soaked or submersed in the delivery compound-containing solution. In some implementations, the delivery solution can include an agent that permeabilizes or dissolves a cell membrane, although the agent may not be required to affect delivery of the payloadAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO the agent may enhance delivery. Exemplary agents that permeate or dissolve a eukaryotic cell membrane include alcohols and detergents such as ethanol and Triton X-100, respectively. Other exemplary detergents, e.g., surfactants include polysorbate 20 (e.g., Tween 20), 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl) dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS), 3- [(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-2-hydroxy-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPSO), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and octyl glucoside. An example of conditions to achieve a coating of a population of coated cells include delivery of a fine particle spray, e.g., the conditions exclude dropping or pipetting a bolus volume of solution on the cells such that a substantial population of the cells are soaked or submerged by the volume of fluid. Thus, the mist or spray comprises a ratio of volume of fluid to cell volume. Alternatively, the conditions comprise a ratio of volume of mist or spray to exposed cell area, e.g., area of cell membrane that is exposed when the cells exist as a confluent or substantially confluent layer on a substantially flat surface such as the bottom of a tissue culture vessel, e.g., a well of a tissue culture plate, e.g., a microtiter tissue culture plate. “Cargo” or “payload” are terms used to describe a compound, or composition that is delivered via an aqueous solution across a cell plasma membrane and into the interior of a cell. In an aspect, delivering a payload across a plasma membrane of a cell includes providing a population of cells and contacting the population of cells with a volume of an aqueous solution. The aqueous solution includes the payload. In some implementations, the aqueous solution includes no alcohol. In some implementations, the aqueous solution includes an alcohol content greater than 0.2 percent concentration. In someAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO implementations, the aqueous solution includes the payload and an alcohol content greater than 5 percent concentration. The volume of the aqueous solution may be a function of exposed surface area of the population of cells, or may be a function of a number of cells in the population of cells. In another aspect, a composition for delivering a payload across a plasma membrane of a cell includes an aqueous solution including the payload, greater than 46 mM salt, less than 121 mM sugar, and less than 19 mM buffering agent. In some implementations, the aqueous solution does not include any alcohol. In some implementations, the aqueous solution includes alcohol at greater than 0.2 percent concentration. For example, the alcohol, e.g., ethanol, concentration is greater than 2 percent, greater than 5 percent, and / or does not exceed 50%. One or more of the following features can be included in any feasible combination. The volume of solution to be delivered to the cells is a plurality of units, e.g., a spray, e.g., a plurality of droplets on aqueous particles. The volume is described relative to an individual cell or relative to the exposed surface area of a confluent or substantially confluent (e.g., at least 75%, at least 80% confluent, e.g., 85%, 90%, 95%, 97%, 98%, 100%) cell population. For example, the volume can be between 6.0 x 10-7microliter per cell and 7.4 x 10-4microliter per cell. The volume is between 4.9 x 10-6microliter per cell and 2.2 x 10-3microliter per cell. The volume can be between 9.3 x 10-6microliter per cell and 2.8 x 10-5microliter per cell. The volume can be about 1.9 x 10-5microliters per cell, and about is within 10 percent. The volume is between 6.0 x 10-7microliter per cell and 2.2 x 10-3microliter per cell. The volume can be between 2.6 x 10-9microliter per square micrometer of exposed surface area and 1.1 x 10-6microliter per square micrometer ofAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO exposed surface area. The volume can be between 5.3 x 10-8 microliter per square micrometer of exposed surface area and 1.6 x 10-7microliter per square micrometer of exposed surface area. The volume can be about 1.1 x 10-7microliter per square micrometer of exposed surface area. About can be within 10 percent. Confluency of cells refers to cells in contact with one another on a surface. For example, it can be expressed as an estimated (or counted) percentage, e.g., 10% confluency means that 10% of the surface, e.g., of a tissue culture vessel, is covered with cells, 100% means that it is entirely covered. For example, adherent cells grow two dimensionally on the surface of a tissue culture well, plate or flask. Non-adherent cells can be spun down, pulled down by a vacuum, or tissue culture medium aspiration off the top of the cell population, or removed by aspiration or vacuum removal from the bottom of the vessel.

The population of cells can be in contact with the aqueous solution for 2 seconds to 5 minutes prior to adding a second volume of buffer or culture medium to submerse or suspend the population of cells. The population of cells can be in contact with the aqueous solution, e.g., containing the payload, for 30 seconds to 2 minutes prior to adding a second volume of buffer or culture medium, e.g., without the payload, to submerse or suspend the population of cells. The population of cells can be in contact with a spray for about 1-2 minutes prior to adding the second volume of buffer or culture medium to submerse or suspend the population of cells. During the time between spraying of cells and addition of buffer or culture medium, the cells remain hydrated by the layer of moisture from the spray volume.

Non-limiting descriptions relating to gene editing (including repair templates) using the CRISPR-Cas system are discussed in Ran et al. (2013) Nat Protoc. 2013 Nov; 8(11): 2281–2308, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference. Embodiments involving repair templates are not limited to those comprising the CRISPR-Cas system. In various implementations of the present subject matter, the volume of aqueous solution is delivered to the population of cells in the form of a spray. In some embodiments, the volume is between 6.0 x 10-7microliter per cell and 7.4 x 10-4microliter per cell. In certain embodiments, the spray comprises a colloidal or sub- particle comprising a diameter of 10 nm to 100µm. In various embodiments, the volume is between 2.6 x 10-9microliter per square micrometer of exposed surface area and 1.1 x 10-6microliter per square micrometer of exposed surface area. In some embodiments, the RNP has a size of approximately 100 Å × 100 Å × 50 Å or 10nm x 10nm x 5nm. In various embodiments, the size of spray particles is adjusted to accommodate at least about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or more RNPs per spray particle. For example, contacting the population of cells with the volume of aqueous solution may be performed by gas propelling the aqueous solution to form a spray. In certain embodiments, the population of cells is in contact with said aqueous solution for 0.01-10 minutes (e.g., 0.110 minutes) prior to adding a second volume of buffer or culture medium to submerse or suspend said population of cells. In various embodiments, the population of cells includes at least one of primary or immortalized cells. For example, the population of cells may include mesenchymal stem cells, lung cells, neuronal cells, fibroblasts, human umbilical vein (HUVEC) cells, andAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells, primary or immortalized hematopoietic stem cell (HSC), T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells, human cord blood CD34+ cells, B cells. Non limiting examples of T cells may include CD8+ or CD4+ T cells . In some aspects, the CD8+ subpopulation of the CD3+T cells are used. CD8+T cells may be purified from the PBMC population by positive isolation using anti-CD8 beads. In some aspects primary NK cells are isolated from PBMCs and GFP mRNA may be delivered by platform delivery technology (i.e., 3% expression and 96% viability at 24 hours). In additional aspects, NK cell lines, e.g., NK92 may be used. Cell types also include cells that have previously been modified for example T cells, NK cells and MSC to enhance their therapeutic efficacy, and use for 3-dimensional cultures, tissue explants, skin grafts, engineered tissues, and the like. For example: T cells or NK cells that express chimeric antigen receptors (CAR T cells, CAR NK cells, respectively); T cells that express modified T cell receptor (TCR); MSC that are modified virally or non-virally to overexpress therapeutic proteins that complement their innate properties (e.g. delivery of Epo using lentiviral vectors or BMP-2 using AAV-6) (reviewed in Park et al, Methods, 2015 Aug;84-16.); MSC that are primed with non-peptidic drugs or magnetic nanoparticles for enhanced efficacy and externally regulated targeting respectively (Park et al., 2015); MSC that are functionalised with targeting moieties to augment their homing toward therapeutic sites using enzymatic modification (e.g. Fucosyltransferase), chemical conjugation (eg. modification of SLeX on MSC by using N- hydroxy-succinimide (NHS) chemistry) or non-covalent interactions (eg. engineering the cell surface with palmitated proteins which act as hydrophobic anchors for subsequent conjugation of antibodies) (Park et al., 2015). For example, T cells, e.g., primary T cellsAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO or T cell lines, that have been modified to express chimeric antigen receptors (CAR T cells) may further be treated according to the invention with gene editing proteins and or complexes containing guide nucleic acids specific for the CAR encoding sequences for the purpose of editing the gene(s) encoding the CAR, thereby reducing or stopping the expression of the CAR in the modified T cells. Aspects of the present invention relate to the expression vector-free delivery of gene editing compounds and complexes to cells and tissues, such as delivery of Cas-gRNA ribonucleoproteins for genome editing in primary human T cells, hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), and mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC). In some example, mRNA encoding such proteins are delivered to the cells. Various aspects of the CRISPR-Cas system are known in the art. Non-limiting aspects of this system are described, e.g., in U.S. Patent No.9,023,649, issued May 5, 2015; U.S. Patent No. 9,074,199, issued July 7, 2015; U.S. Patent No. 8,697,359, issued April 15, 2014; U.S. Patent No. 8,932,814, issued January 13, 2015; PCT International Patent Application Publication No. WO 2015 / 071474, published August 27, 2015; Cho et al., (2013) Nature Biotechnology Vol 31 No 3 pp 230-232 (including supplementary information); and Jinek et al., (2012) Science Vol 337 No 6096 pp 816-821, the entire contents of each of which are incorporated herein by reference. Non-limiting examples of Cas proteins include Cas1, Cas1B, Cas2, Cas3, Cas4, Cas5, Cas6, Cas7, Cas8, Cas9 (also known as Csn1 and Csx12), Cas10, Csy1, Csy2, Csy3, Cse1, Cse2, Csc1, Csc2, Csa5, Csn2, Csm2, Csm3, Csm4, Csm5, Csm6, Cmr1, Cmr3, Cmr4, Cmr5, Cmr6, Csb1, Csb2, Csb3, Csx17, Csx14, Csx10, Csx16, CsaX, Csx3, Csx1, Csx15, Csf1, Csf2, Csf3, Csf4, homologs thereof, or modified versions thereof. TheseAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO enzymes are known; for example, the amino acid sequence of S. pyogenes Cas9 protein may be found in the SwissProt database under accession number Q99ZW2 and in the NCBI database as under accession number Q99ZW2.1. UniProt database accession numbers A0A0G4DEU5 and CDJ55032 provide another example of a Cas9 protein amino acid sequence. Another non-limiting example is a Streptococcus thermophilus Cas9 protein, the amino acid sequence of which may be found in the UniProt database under accession number Q03JI6.1. In some embodiments, the unmodified CRISPR enzyme has DNA cleavage activity, such as Cas9. In certain embodiments the CRISPR enzyme is Cas9, and may be Cas9 from S. pyogenes or S. pneumoniae. In various embodiments, the CRISPR enzyme directs cleavage of one or both strands at the location of a target sequence, such as within the target sequence and / or within the complement of the target sequence. In some embodiments, the CRISPR enzyme directs cleavage of one or both strands within about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 100, 200, 500, or more base pairs from the first or last nucleotide of a target sequence. In some embodiments, a vector encodes a CRISPR enzyme that is mutated to with respect to a corresponding wild-type enzyme such that the mutated CRISPR enzyme lacks the ability to cleave one or both strands of a target polynucleotide containing a target sequence. For example, an aspartate-to-alanine substitution in the RuvC I catalytic domain of Cas9 from S. pyogenes converts Cas9 from a nuclease that cleaves both strands to a nickase (cleaves a single strand). Other examples of mutations that render Cas9 a nickase include, without limitation, H840A, N854A, and N863A. In aspects of the invention, nickases may be used for genome editing via homologous recombination.Attorney Docket No.048831-531001WO In certain embodiments, a Cas9 nickase may be used in combination with guide sequence(s), e.g., two guide sequences, which target respectively sense and antisense strands of the DNA target. This combination allows both strands to be nicked and used to induce NHEJ. As a further example, two or more catalytic domains of Cas9 (RuvC I, RuvC II, and RuvC III) may be mutated to produce a mutated Cas9 substantially lacking all DNA cleavage activity. A D10A mutation may be combined with one or more of H840A, N854A, or N863A mutations to produce a Cas9 enzyme substantially lacking all DNA cleavage activity. In certain embodiments, a CRISPR enzyme is considered to substantially lack all DNA cleavage activity when the DNA cleavage activity of the mutated enzyme is less than about 25%, 10%, 5%, 1%, 0.1%, 0.01%, or lower with respect to its non-mutated form. Other mutations may be useful; where the Cas9 or other CRISPR enzyme is from a species other than S. pyogenes, mutations in corresponding amino acids may be made to achieve similar effects. In certain embodiments, a protein being delivered (such as a Cas protein or a variant thereof) may include a subcellular localization signal. For example, the Cas protein within a RNP may comprise a subcellular localization signal. Depending on context, a fusion protein comprising, e.g., Cas9 and a nuclear localization signal may be referred to as “Cas9” herein without specifying the inclusion of the nuclear localization signal. In some embodiments, the payload (such as an RNP) comprises a fusion-protein that comprises a localization signal. For example, the fusion-protein may contain a nuclear localization signal, a nucleolar localization signal, or a mitochondrial targeting signal. Such signals are known in the art, and non-limiting examples are described in Kalderon et al., (1984) CellAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO 39 (3 Pt 2): 499–509; Makkerh et al., (1996) Curr Biol. 6 (8):1025–7; Dingwall et al., (1991) Trends in Biochemical Sciences 16 (12): 478–81; Scott et al., (2011) BMC Bioinformatics 12:317 (7 pages); Omura T (1998) J Biochem. 123(6):1010-6; Rapaport D (2003) EMBO Rep.4(10):948-52; and Brocard & Hartig (2006) Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research 1763(12):1565–1573, the contents of each of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference. In various embodiments, the Cas protein may comprise more than one localization signals, such as 2, 3, 4, 5, or more nuclear localization signals. In some embodiments, the localization signal is at the N-terminal end of the Cas protein and in other embodiments the localization signal is at the C-terminal end of the Cas protein. In some embodiments, an enzyme coding sequence encoding a CRISPR enzyme is codon optimized for expression in particular cells, such as eukaryotic cells. The eukaryotic cells may be those of or derived from a particular organism, such as a mammal, including but not limited to human, mouse, rat, rabbit, dog, or non-human primate. In general, codon optimization refers to a process of modifying a nucleic acid sequence for enhanced expression in the host cells of interest by replacing at least one codon (e.g. about or more than about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, or more codons) of the native sequence with codons that are more frequently or most frequently used in the genes of that host cell while maintaining the native amino acid sequence. Various species exhibit particular bias for certain codons of a particular amino acid. Codon bias (differences in codon usage between organisms) often correlates with the efficiency of translation of messenger RNA (mRNA), which is in turn believed to be dependent on, among other things, the properties of the codons being translated and the availability of particular transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules.Attorney Docket No.048831-531001WO The predominance of selected tRNAs in a cell is generally a reflection of the codons used most frequently in peptide synthesis. Accordingly, genes can be tailored for optimal gene expression in a given organism based on codon optimization. Codon usage tables are readily available, for example, at the “Codon Usage Database”, and these tables can be adapted in a number of ways. See Nakamura, Y., et al. “Codon usage tabulated from the international DNA sequence databases: status for the year 2000” Nucl. Acids Res.28:292 (2000). Computer algorithms for codon optimizing a particular sequence for expression in a particular host cell are also available, such as Gene Forge (Aptagen; Jacobus, Pa.), are also available. In some embodiments, one or more codons (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, or more, or all codons) in a sequence encoding a CRISPR enzyme corresponding to the most frequently used codon for a particular amino acid. In general, a guide sequence is any polynucleotide sequence having sufficient complementarity with a target polynucleotide sequence to hybridize with the target sequence and direct sequence-specific binding of a CRISPR complex to the target sequence. In some embodiments, the degree of complementarity between a guide sequence and its corresponding target sequence, when optimally aligned using a suitable alignment algorithm, is about or more than about 50%, 60%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 97.5%, 99%, or more. In some embodiments, the degree of complementarity is 100%. Optimal alignment may be determined with the use of any suitable algorithm for aligning sequences, non-limiting example of which include the Smith-Waterman algorithm, the Needleman- Wunsch algorithm, algorithms based on the Burrows-Wheeler Transform (e.g. the Burrows Wheeler Aligner), ClustalW, Clustal X, BLAT, Novoalign (Novocraft Technologies,Attorney Docket No.048831-531001WO ELAND (Illumina, San Diego, Calif.), SOAP (available at soap.genomics.org.cn), and Maq (available at maq.sourceforge.net). In some embodiments, a guide sequence is about or more than about 5, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 75, or more nucleotides in length. In certain embodiments, a guide sequence is less than about 75, 50, 45, 40, 35, 30, 25, 20, 15, 12, or fewer nucleotides in length. The ability of a guide sequence to direct sequence-specific binding of a CRISPR complex to a target sequence may be assessed by any suitable assay. For example, the components of a CRISPR system sufficient to form a CRISPR complex, including the guide sequence to be tested, may be provided to a host cell having the corresponding target sequence, such as by transfection with vectors encoding the components of the CRISPR sequence, followed by an assessment of preferential cleavage within the target sequence, such as by Surveyor assay as described herein. Similarly, cleavage of a target polynucleotide sequence may be evaluated in a test tube by providing the target sequence, components of a CRISPR complex, including the guide sequence to be tested and a control guide sequence different from the test guide sequence, and comparing binding or rate of cleavage at the target sequence between the test and control guide sequence reactions. CRISPR-Cas technology which facilitates genome engineering in a wide range of cell types is evolving rapidly. It has recently been shown that delivery of the Cas9-gRNA editing tools in the form of ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) yields several benefits compared with delivery of plasmids encoding for Cas9 and gRNAs. Benefits include faster and more efficient editing, fewer off-target effects, and less toxicity. RNPs have been delivered by lipofection and electroporation but limitations that remain with these delivery methods, particularly for certain clinically relevant cell types, include toxicity and low efficiency.Attorney Docket No.048831-531001WO Accordingly, there is a need to provide a vector-free e.g., viral vector-free, approach for delivering biologically relevant payloads, e.g., RNPs, across a plasma membrane and into cells. “Cargo” or “payload” are terms used to describe a compound, or composition that is delivered via an aqueous solution across a cell plasma membrane and into the interior of a cell. The current subject matter relates to delivery technology that facilitates delivery of a broad range of payloads to cells with low toxicity. Genome editing may be achieved by delivering RNPs to cells using some aspects of the current subject matter. Levels decline thereafter until Cas9 is no longer detectable. The delivery technology per se does not deleteriously affect the viability or functionality of Jurkat and primary T cells. The current subject matter enables gene editing via Cas9 RNPs in clinically relevant cell types with minimal toxicity. The transient and direct delivery of CRISPR / Cas components such as Cas and / or a gRNA has advantages compared to expression vector-mediated delivery. For example, an amount of Cas, gRNA, or RNP can be added with more precise timing and for a limited amount of time compared to the use of an expression vector. Components expressed from a vector may be produced in various quantities and for variable amounts of time, making it difficult to achieve consistent gene editing without off-target edits. Additionally, pre- formed complexes of Cas and gRNAs (RNPs) cannot be delivered with expression vectors. In one aspect, the present subject matter describes cells attached to a solid support, (e.g., a strip, a polymer, a bead, or a nanoparticle). The support or scaffold may be a porous or non-porous solid support. Well-known supports or carriers include glass, polystyrene, polypropylene, polyethylene, dextran, nylon, amylases, natural and modified celluloses,Attorney Docket No.048831-531001WO polyacrylamides, gabbros, and magnetite. The nature of the carrier can be either soluble to some extent or insoluble for the purposes of the present subject matter. The support material may have virtually any possible structural configuration. Thus, the support configuration may be spherical, as in a bead, or cylindrical, as in the inside surface of a test tube, or the external surface of a rod. Alternatively, the surface may be flat such as a sheet, or test strip, etc. Preferred supports include polystyrene beads. In other aspects, the solid support comprises a polymer, to which cells are chemically bound, immobilized, dispersed, or associated. A polymer support may be a network of polymers, and may be prepared in bead form (e.g., by suspension polymerization). The cells on such a scaffold can be sprayed with payload containing aqueous solution according to the invention to deliver desired compounds to the cytoplasm of the scaffold. Exemplary scaffolds include stents and other implantable medical devices or structures. Example 4 Effect of alcohol on RNP (ribonucleoprotein)-edit efficiency post-delivery by the example delivery platforms illustrated in FIG. 1 and 23. Experiments were performed to determine the effect alcohol (e.g., ethanol) had on RNP-edit efficiency post-delivery using the example delivery platforms illustrated in FIG. 1 and 23. Additionally, the experiments were performed to ascertain an optimal ethanol concentration for editing following delivery of RNP by the example delivery platforms illustrated in FIG. 1 and 23. For example, the maximum ethanol concentration which allowed for optimal Cas9-induced edit was determined. An increase in ethanol allowed for more cargo delivery to the cell, and thereby allowing for greater edit efficiency.Attorney Docket No.048831-531001WO Cas9 RNP – TRAC (T cell receptor alpha constant) sgRNA (single guide RNA) was prepared at 2:1 ratio at 0.4 µg / µL (equiv to 3.3µg per 1x106cells); S Buffer (32.5 mM sucrose; 106 mM potassium chloride; 5 mM HEPES) solutions were prepared with 0, 5, 10 and 15% ethanol with RNP and the experiments were carried out on the example delivery platforms illustrated in FIG. 1 and 23.with the S buffer solutions at each ethanol concentration. The TRAC guide RNA sequence: AGAGTCTCTCAGCTGGTACA (SEQ ID NO: 1). In embodiments, at least two exogenous cargos are simultaneously delivered, meaning the two exogenous cargos are delivered at the same time (e.g., dual delivery). For example, the immune cell (comprising an exogenous cargo), may be manipulated to comprise a second exogenous cargo. The experimental design is shown in FIG. 29. “S Buffer” includes a hypotonic physiological buffered solution (78 mM sucrose, 30 mM KCl, 30 mM potassium acetate, 12 mM HEPES) for 5 min at 4°C (Medepalli K. et al., Nanotechnology 2013; 24(20); incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). In some examples, potassium acetate is replaced with ammonium acetate in the S Buffer. S buffer is further described in international application WO 2016 / 065341, e.g., at ¶

[0229] and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. For example, the S buffer used in series of experiments described herein included 32.5 mM sucrose; 106 mM potassium chloride; and 5 mM HEPES. Conclusion: CD3 (cluster of differentiation 3) edit efficiencies (e.g., monitoring TRAC RNP) at each ethanol concentration was tested post-delivery using the example delivery platforms illustrated in FIG. 1 and 23. See FIG. 30 depicting representative flow cytometry plots from cells stained with an antibody targeting CD3 (gated off the live population) and FIG. 31.Attorney Docket No.048831-531001WO FIG.31A shows a bar graph showing that the level of CD3 edit increased modestly with increasing concentrations of ethanol (0% EtOH and 58% CD3 edit to 15% EtOH and 66% CD3 edit), and the results are further summarized in the table in FIG. 31B. The percent viability at the increasing ethanol concentrations, and time points consisting of pre- delivery, post-delivery (day 3) and post-delivery (day 5) are summarized in the bar graph in FIG. 32. Example 5 FIG. 33A and 33B illustrate droplet size versus pressure of atomization for the example delivery platform when employing a 0% EtOH delivery solution (FIG. 33A, no alcohol) and with 12.5% alcohol (FIG. 33B). In FIG. 33A and 33B, DV90 indicates that the portion of particles with diameters smaller than this value is 90%, DV50 indicates that the portion of particles with diameters smaller than this value is 50%, and DV10 indicates that the portion of particles with diameters smaller than this value is 10%. In some implementations, aqueous solutions without ethanol showed a larger droplet size (for a given pressure for atomizing the solution), which required additional consideration of process conditions to give optimal spay coverage of cells with cargo for transfection. In some implementations, when the platform is utilizing a 0% ethanol delivery solution, additional wash steps can be omitted. The on / off switching speed of the spray delivery can remain constant. Similarly, the plume and nozzle design can used for ethanol or no ethanol solutions. As described in more detail in Example 6, the system can also provide for delivery using a hypertonic solution (e.g., a much higher salt concentration in the delivery solution).Attorney Docket No.048831-531001WO For cells of approximately 10 µm in diameter (e.g. human T cells) FIG. 33A and 33B are line graphs showing that the spray droplet size required higher atomisation pressures to be applied to maintain the droplet size range closer to cell size, including to avoid excessively large droplets. Droplet size was measured as D90 using Malvern Mastersizer 3000 laser diffraction apparatus (available from Malvern Panalytical Ltd., Malvern, United Kingdom; see, (<https: / / www.malvernpanalytical.com / en / products / product-range / mastersizer- range / mastersizer-3000>). In some implementations, the example delivery platform can utilize a pressure where a distribution of spray droplet (e.g., particle) size distribution can include a size range where D90 is not more than 5 times cell size, a range where D90 is not more than 3.3x cell size, and / or a range where D90 is not larger than about 2x cell size. Example 6 Effect of a hypertonic delivery system as illustrated in FIG. 34 and FIG. 34B, FIG. 35A and 35B, FIGs. 36-38. Increasing delivery solution osmolality (e.g., the effect of a hypertonic solution) was studied using various ethanol concentrations, including 0% EtOH, in delivery solutions of various volume ratios of Sucrose buffer (45% sucrose ca. 175 mOsm / kg) and phosphate buffered saline (PBS) (ca. 300 mOsm / kg), shown in the table below. Table 1: Increasing delivery solution osmolality at various ethanol concentrations Component Molecular Weight Concentration (mg / L) Potassium Chloride 75.0 200.0 Sodium Phosphate monobasic 136.0 200.0 Sodium Chloride 58.0 8000.0 Potassium Phosphate dibasic 268.0 2160.0Attorney Docket No.048831-531001WO Results: FIG. 34A and 34B, as well as FIG.35A and 35B showed that increased in GFP transfection achieved using 12% and 27% ethanol in solutions increasing the proportions of sucrose and sodium chloride from the two buffer solutions. In FIGs. 34A, 34B, as well as 35A and 35B, the cell viability was also maintained. Ethanol had a higher impact on the osmolality, as demonstrated by measuring the effect of ethanol in serum (see, e.g., Nguyen, M. et al “Front. Med. Is the Osmolal Concentration of Ethanol Greater Than Its Molar Concentration? Jan 8, 2020, “Nguyen” incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). Figure 1 from the Nguyen reference is reproduced herein (FIG. 36) illustrating a linear regression analysis relating the osmolality gap solely due to ethanol based on the difference between measured serum osmolality after ethanol addition and measured serum osmolality before ethanol addition and serum ethanol concentration in mg / dL. The hypertonic solutions described and studied herein also increased transfection (FIG. 37). Hypertonic solutions can increase transfection, and also can decrease viability. Hypertonic solutions preferably contain both organic components such as sucrose or other pharmaceutically acceptable saccharides like dextrose, glucose, sorbitol, mannitol, and inorganic salts such as sodium chloride, potassium chloride or other pharmaceutically acceptable salts. The combined delivery solution, without ethanol can use osmolality less than 300 mosm / kg, or more than 300 mosm / kg such as up to 400 mosm / kg or up to 500 mosm / kg. This solution can then be mixed with ethanol in varying amounts up to 50%. The relative amounts of saccharide and inorganic salts may vary such that up to 50% of the osmolality of the aqueous buffer mixture arises from the saccharides (or combination with inorganic salts thereof), with preferred ranges being less than 40% and most preferred lessAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO than 33% as saccharide. In other examples, up to 40%, up to 35%, up to 34%, up to 33%, up to 32%, up to 31% or up to 30% of the osmolality of the aqueous buffer mixture arises from the saccharides (or combination with inorganic salts thereof). In some embodiments, the delivery solution is hypertonic, wherein the osmolality of the solution is affected by the combination of a saccharide (e.g., sucrose, dextrose, glucose, sorbitol, mannitol, and other pharmaceutically acceptable saccharides) and an inorganic salt (e.g., sodium chloride, potassium chloride or other pharmaceutically acceptable salts). In some examples, the delivery solution can include a mixture of more than one saccharide and a mixture of more than one inorganic salt. As much as 50% of the osmolality of the aqueous buffer can arise from a mixture of saccharides. For example, the preferred ranges include less than 40%, or more preferably less than 33% of the osmolality arises from the saccharide (e.g., the osmolality of the aqueous solution is rendered by the saccharides, or mixtures of saccharides thereof). In other embodiments, the delivery solution (without alcohol, but including at least one saccharide and inorganic salt) can have an osmolality of less than 300 mOsm / kg, equal to or about 300 mOsm / kg, up to 400 mOsm / kg, or up to 500 mOsm / kg. In other examples the delivery solution (without alcohol, but including at least one saccharide and one organic salt) can have an osmolality of about 300 mOsm / kg, or about 350 mOsm / kg, or about 400 mOsm / kg, or about 450 mOsm / kg, or about 500 mOsm / kg. In other examples the delivery solution (without alcohol, but including at least one saccharide and one organic salt) can have an osmolality of about 320 mOsm / kg, about 330 mOsm / kg, about 340 mOsm / kg, about 350 mOsm / kg, about 360 mOsm / kg, about 370 mOsm / kg, about 380 mOsm / kg, about 390 mOsm / kg, about 400 mOsm / kg, about 410 mOsm / kg, about 420 mOsm / kg,Attorney Docket No.048831-531001WO about 430 mOsm / kg, about 440 mOsm / kg, about 450 mOsm / kg, about 460 mOsm / kg, about 470 mOsm / kg, about 480 mOsm / kg, about 490 mOsm / kg, or about 500 mOsm / kg. Example 7: Integration of Non-Viral Transfection and Cell Expansion and Cell Processing Steps Phases of implementation Testing with minimal changes to the existing SUA (introduce temperature control): demonstrate that the transfection chamber can be used for cell expansion, show improved mass transfer properties versus static cell expansion systems, test advanced processing through simplified fed batch and / or simulated perfusion operation, and show that upward flow of media can create an expanded bed of cells with gradient free supply of nutrients and oxygen. Another implementation of the method and system described herein include improved process controls and advanced operation by the closed system. Moreover, the method and system was further implemented to incorporate sensors and controls (e.g., pH and O2). The operation of the method and systems in perfusion mode (including with up flow through an expanded cell bed) lead to substantially improved cell expansion and higher a cell quality product, and demonstrated the advantage for the high seed density approach on high dose manufacturing, as well as the advantages of the integration of viral transduction process. Scale-out capable solution allowing parallel expansion of multiple batches in SUAs. Stage 1 – demonstration of the integration of transfection and expansion of a T cell cultureAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO The experiment demonstrates that an integration of transfection and expansion of a T cell culture is possible. The experiments show that certain design elements of the delivery system and apparatus, specifically the rocking / vibrating mechanism as well as the opportunity to add media from below the membrane, lead to improved growth conditions during the expansion phase due to enhanced transfer of nutrients and oxygen to the cells, relative to an industry standard for cell expansion (a gas permeable membrane bioreactor). In addition, the experiments show that an upward flow of media establishes a quasi- expanded bed of cells where the upward fluid loosens the bed of sedimented cells typical for a static reaction system and thereby provides an improved microenvironment for the expanded cells. Finally, the impact of fed-batch and continuous operation on cell expansion can be simulated in a simplified hybrid approach. Two modifications to the existing SUA are proposed, including the addition of a mechanism to control temperature to establishing conditions under which a cell population can expand post transfection. To measure the development or the absence of gradients in nutrients, oxygen, or waste products, it would be beneficial to enable sampling from the reaction chamber at different media heights. This can provide important information to characterize mixing in the reaction chamber and to correlate it to cell expansion and quality attributes of the resulting cell population. FIG. 41 shows a schematic of the proposed set- up. Four experiments are provided using the SUA and methods as described herein. Experiment 1: integration of transfection and expansion in SUA with static operation.Attorney Docket No.048831-531001WO The objective of this experiment demonstrates that the SUA is used as an integrated transfection and expansion unit. Operation is performed as a static system in batch operation similar to operation in a gas permeable membrane bioreactor system, which serves as a comparator. Procedure - Transfect 20M cells per the delivery system per transfection methods, including wash steps (e.g., Activated T cells were seeded at 1.5 x 106 cells per well of a 96-well filter plate (Acroprep, 1.2 μm Supor membrane; Pall, USA). Media was removed from the wells by centrifugation at 300 x g for 5 min. 7 μl of delivery solution (32 mM sucrose, 12 mM potassium chloride, 12 mM ammonium acetate, 5 mM HEPES and 27% ethanol in molecular grade water (all from Sigma- Aldrich)) containing 4 μg GFP mRNA was then sprayed into each well using the vector- free delivery spray instrument. The atomizer used in the instrument was a MAD Nasal™ intranasal mucosal atomization device (Wolfe Tory Medical Inc, Salt Lake City, USA). The atomizer was held on a retort stand at 26 mm above the bottom of the well and was connected to a 6 bar compressor (Circuit Imprime Francais, Bagneux Cedex, France) via polyurethane tubing (6 mm outside diameter, 4 mm inside diameter; SMC, Tokyo, Japan). The delivery solution containing the cargo was pipetted into a delivery port located at the top of the atomizer and the spray was generated at 1.5 Bar using a spray actuator button (SMC, Tokyo, Japan). Following delivery, theAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO cells were incubated in this solution for 2 min prior to the addition of 50 μl Stop Solution (0.5X PBS). Thirty seconds later T cell media was added (100 μl) and cells were allowed to recover at 37°C and 5% CO2 overnight. Uptake and viability were assessed at 24h post-delivery.) - Expand the transfected cell population in a static batch mode. o SUA membrane area of ∼20 cm2-> seed cell density is 1*106cells / cm2. o Optimal fluid height of gas permeable membrane bioreactor systems is 10 cm -> add 200 mL of growth media to SUA with 20 cm2membrane area to mimic a gas permeable membrane bioreactor conditions resulting in a starting cell density of 1*105cells / mL o Follow a similar cell expansion protocol (with cell culture media and cytokines) to expand cells for 7 days (post transfection) and compare results directly with a gas permeable membrane bioreactor control. o Measure cell quality attributes (at periodic times, such as Days 1, 4 and 7 post-transfection) as done with the gas permeable membrane bioreactor protocol). - Target 20 to 50x expansion to 2 - 5*106cells / mL after 7 days expansion. Experiment 2: Integration of transfection and expansion in SUA with gentle mixingAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO Pre-work to experiment 2: determine mix time in SUA as a function of rocking motion. The objective of this pre-experiment is to determine the optimal rocking motion (resulting in gentle mixing) and a mix time of 15 to 20 minutes. Procedure: - Fill the SUA with 200 mL of water and begin rocking motion at defined rocking rates. - Add 5 mL of a 1 M NaCl solution as a pulse. - Take samples every 5 minutes and measure conductivity. - Determine the mix time (time to stabilization of conductivity) - Measure mix time as a function of increasing rocking rates (relative to rocking). Integration of transfection and expansion in SUA with gentle mixing The objective of this experiment demonstrates that the the rocking / vibration mechanism improves mixing in the reaction chamber of the SUA and that cell expansion in a system with improved mixing is superior to static operation. Static operation in gas a permeable membrane bioreactor and the outcome of Experiment 1 serve as comparators. Procedure: - Transfect 20M cells per the delivery system standard procedure, including wash steps. - Expand the transfected cell population in a batch mode with added mixing. o SUA membrane area of 20 cm2-> seed cell density is 1*106cells / cm2. o Optimal fluid height of gas permeable membrane bioreactor systems is 10 cm -> add 200 mL of growth media to SUA with20 cm2membrane areaAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO to mimic gas permeable membrane bioreactor conditions resulting in a starting cell density of 1*105cells / mL. o After one day of static operation, start rocking motion at the optimal rocking rate determined in the pre-experiment. o Take daily (periodic) samples to measure cell concentration and viability. o Take daily samples at three different fluid heights to measure nutrients (such as Glucose, Glutamine, cytokines), Oxygen, and metabolites (Lactate, Ammonia, CO2), based on Avectas capabilities. - End process when viability drops to < 80% or when desired cell expansion is achieved. - Target 100x expansion to 1*107cells / mL. Experiment 3: integration of transfection and expansion in SUA with gentle mixing in fed-batch operation The objective of this experiment demonstrates that fed batch operation is executed in the SUA and that this mode of operation leads to superior growth and cell health compared to batch operation. Static operation in a gas permeable membrane bioreactor and the outcome of Experiment 2 serve as comparators. Procedure: - Transfect 20M cells per standard procedure, including wash steps. - Expand the transfected cell population in a batch mode with added mixing for three days.Attorney Docket No.048831-531001WO o SUA membrane area of 20 cm2-> seed cell density is 1*106cells / cm2. o Begin operation at half volume: add 100 mL of fluid to the reaction chamber -> starting cell density of 2*105cells / mL. o After one day of static operation, start rocking motion at the optimal rocking rate determined in the pre-experiment. o Take daily (periodic) samples to measure cell concentration, viability, phenotype. o Take daily samples at three different fluid heights to measure nutrients (Glucose, Glutamine, cytokines), Oxygen, and metabolites (Lactate, Ammonia, CO2), based on Avectas capabilities. - Once cell concentration has reached 5*105cells / mL, initiate media feed from the bottom at 20 mL / day. Stop feeding at the max. operating volume of the SUA. - Continue daily sampling. - End process when viability drops to < 80%, or when desired cell expansion is achieved. - Target 100x expansion to 1*107cells / mL. Experiment 4: integration of transfection and expansion in SUA with simulated perfusion operation The objective of this experiment demonstrates that perfusion operation leads to superior growth and cell health compared to batch or fed-batch operation. Media feed will occur from the bottom, leading to an expansion of the cell bed. Since the media removalAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO port currently is located close to the bottom of the SUA, continuous feed from the bottom and removal from the side port may lead to the removal of cells together with spent media. Therefore, it is proposed to perform a simulated perfusion process, where cell free spent media is periodically (e.g., every six hours) removed manually from the top and where the removed volume is replenished by feeding fresh media from the bottom. Static operation in a gas permeable membrane bioreactor and the outcome of experiment 3 serve as comparators. Procedure: - Transfect 20M cells per the delivery system standard procedure, including wash steps. - Expand the transfected cell population in a batch mode with added mixing. o SUA membrane area of 20 cm2-> seed cell density is 1*106cells / cm2. o Optimal fluid height of a gas permeable membrane bioreactor systems is 10 cm -> add 200 mL of growth media to SUA with 20 cm2membrane area to mimic gas permeable membrane bioreactor conditions resulting in a starting cell density of 1*105cells / mL. o After one day of static operation, start rocking motion at the optimal rocking rate determined in the pre-experiment. o Take daily samples to measure cell concentration and viability. o Take daily samples at three different fluid heights to measure nutrients (Glucose, Glutamine, cytokines), Oxygen, and metabolites (Lactate, Ammonia, CO2), based on Avectas capabilities. - Initiate perfusion on day 4Attorney Docket No.048831-531001WO o Target dilution rate of 1 / day, i.e., 200mL of fresh media added and spent media removed per day. o Feed fresh media from the bottom at a rate of 8.4 mL / hr. Remove 50mL of cell free spent media from the top every 6 hours. - Observe whether a stable expanded cell bed develops in the upward media flow. Measure and record bed expansion. - Continue daily cell sampling from the reaction chamber, analyze spent media for nutrients and metabolites. Monitor O2and CO2in reaction chamber. - Run the process for a total of 12-14 days, or until desired cell expansion is achieved. - On the last day of the experiment, test a media feed flow of 17 mL / hr. This corresponds to a dilution rate of 2 / day, which may be beneficial to cell expansion due to even better supply of nutrients and removal of inhibitory metabolites. This short experiment will allow to observe expansion of the cell bed with higher upward flow and determine whether cell free media removal would be possible from the top of the liquid phase under these conditions. - Target > 100x expansion to >1*107cells / mL. Example Systems and Methods described herein Modification of the SUA creates a fully closed system, introduces sensor technology as well as the ability to operate in full perfusion mode, thereby laying the foundation to get to even higher volumetric productivity and the high seed density approach. Adding a gas overlay allows for control of dissolved oxygen concentration via an airflow and for removal of excess CO2in the gas outflow.Attorney Docket No.048831-531001WO Introduce an outlet for spent media removal close to the top of the liquid surface at full operating volume of 200 mL. Depending on the outcome of the increased up flow test in experiment 4 of the proof of principle stage, the position of the outlet has to be adapted. Some implementations can add an inlet and outlet to the gas phase, allowing for an airflow across the liquid surface. Dissolved oxygen concentration can be controlled via airflow and overlay pressure. This can also facilitate the removal of excess CO2from the gas phase, thereby establishing a gradient that drives CO2 out of the liquid phase. In further implementations, a fully closed system is developed that minimizes contamination risk and closed system validation is performed. Some implementations can install at least pH and Oxygen sensors, and can add a sensor that allows determining the viable cell concentration in the reaction chamber. If perfusion operation is intended as the preferred mode of operation, sensors that measure liquid phase conditions can be installed in the spent media outlet channel. The mixing experiments from the previous stage demonstrate that the system is characterized as a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR). Conditions in the reaction chamber are identical to conditions in the effluent (i.e., system is well stirred and homogeneous). Cell concentration sensors need to be installed in the SUA cell expansion chamber. FIG. 42 depicts this situation. If fed batch operation is the preferred mode of operation and / or if mixing conditions are not that of a CSTR, all sensors need to be installed in the reaction chamber. This is outlined in FIG. 43. Further renderings implement control loops for pH, O2, and potentially cell concentration. pH can be controlled through NaOH addition, O2 can be controlled through airflow and overlay pressure, and cell concentration measurements can be used in aAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO feedback loop to control media feed through a cell specific media feed rate. FIG. 44 outlines the approach. The current transfection protocol operates at an optimized total cell number of 20 M transfected cells. Dose requirements for the different cell therapy products vary substantially, ranging from several million cells (3rdGen CAR-T for blood tumors) up to 100 billion cells in Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocyte (TIL) therapies. Expanding from 20M cells to doses in the low billion range may be supported by the delivery system strategies outlined above. However, expanding to very high doses (such as beyond 10 billion cells) will require expanding the cell population more than one 1000-fold. While this may well be supported by the advanced mass transfer and process control discussed here, there is credible concern that growing T cells over so many generations may lead to cell exhaustion and the development of phenotypes that do not perform efficaciously once reinfused to the patient. Additionally, processes requiring 1000-fold expansion will have extended run time, which inherently increases the risk of failure and vein-to-vein time. One option to arrive at high cell doses without the need for too many generations of growth is to increase the starting cell density. The geometry of the SUA has been improved to transfect 20 M cells with high efficiency, and it is not recommended to increase the cell number per transfection cycle. However, these cycles are short, and it is possible to execute several consecutive cycles within only a few hours. It is therefore worthwhile to consider transferring cells post transfection to a storage container and pooling the cells from several cycles into a single seed stock. Doing so will reduce the need for expansion and thereby the risk of exhaustion over too many generations. For example, pooling five transfection cycles will lead to a seed stock of 100 M cells, a five-fold increaseAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO in starting cell concentration. In a static culture, this high seed concentration might be of concern due to mass transfer and oxygen supply limitations. The advanced mass transfer and process control properties of the methods and devices described herein may be able to overcome these concerns and support healthy expansion at higher initial density. Experiments should be conducted to evaluate the optimum number of transfection cycles that can be pooled while at the same time supporting healthy expansion in the methods and devices described herein. Furthermore, the integrated system / process and viral transduction is added to the cell engineering capabilities prior to expansion. Since the volume in the reaction chamber can be adjusted by removing fluid through the bottom membrane, increasing cell concentration to improve the efficiency of viral transduction may be accomplished without the need to concentrate by centrifugation. In some implementations, the filter is coated with promotors and other materials during the transduction process. Scale out One of the concerns regarding commercial viability of autologous cell manufacturing is the “one batch per patient” nature of patient specific therapy. Serving a large number of patients cannot be accomplished by traditional approaches to scale up manufacturing volume; each patient is served with their own individual manufacturing batch. Therefore, patient numbers must scale through parallel operation of individual batches, often described as a scale-out approach. Consequently, a commercial version of the methods and devices described herein need to allow operation in parallel. This will require decoupling of the transfection process from expansion. Transfection could occur in the SUA using existing equipment, after which that same SUA is transferred to anAttorney Docket No.048831-531001WO expansion system, where many SUAs can be operated in parallel. These systems could be simple, requiring only basic rocking (to provide appropriate mixing), parallel pumps for media supply, and basic control functions for temperature, pH, O2, and media feed.
